<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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;
Thus hA, being neuter plural, would therefore have a neuter plural
antecedent.&nbsp; However, there is no neuter plural antecedent here to which hA
can relate.&nbsp; What is the antecedent, and why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</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.&nbsp; What is the case of hA in this instance, and why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have enjoyed reading the B-Greek
digest.</FONT></DIV>
