<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my first post to the mailing list, so
please forgive any lapses in netiquette on my part.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My questions concern a relative pronoun (hA) that
appears in the first part of Revelation 1:1.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>APOKALUYIS IHSOU CRISTOU hHN EDWKEN AUTWi hO QEOS
DEIXAI TOIS DOULOIS AUTOU <U>hA</U> DEI GENESQAI EN TACEI...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question 1: I understand that a relative pronoun
generally agrees with its antecedent with respect to gender and number.
Thus hA, being neuter plural, would therefore have a neuter plural
antecedent. However, there is no neuter plural antecedent here to which hA
can relate. What is the antecedent, and why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question 2: According to the paradigm of the
relative pronoun (lexical form hOS) the case of hA can be nominative or
accusative. What is the case of hA in this instance, and why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have enjoyed reading the B-Greek
digest.</FONT></DIV>
