[b-greek] 1st John 1.2 Grammar

Greetings, all you who are clearly more prepared than I for this
question.

I was helping my eighth graders look at the parsing of 1 John 1 and noted
the phrase THN ZWHN THN AIWNION. I am not familiar with any reason for
the masculine/neuter accusative for AIWNION, used as it is with a
feminine noun and a feminine article. Why not AIWNIHN?

I'd welcome a reference to a web-based resource that would help with
similar questions and keep you intelligent people from having to snicker
at my questions.

By the way, I really enjoy it when I have the opportunity to try to
follow a thread on this list. It helps me try to remember to think like
the Greek scholar I once was.
