Re: Cardo rhos fixed
I haven't been active here for a while, so I just saw the latest post. Sorry, I didn't find the file anymore. I have also totally forgotten how I fixed it. If you want to try, you can download the google font (or the same font from some other source) and open the .ttf file with FontForge. The applic...

Re: G2863 - κομάω in the context of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16
Answers to numbered questions. 1. Yes, but if you are even semi-serious with Greek, you should at least learn to find it yourself in some online of offline Bible reading application, for PC or mobile phone. There are many of them, free, with Greek parsing. 2. It's not correct. It doesn't "stres...

Re: How much is Many? Numerics of polys πολύς...
In human languages in general negatives are sometimes notoriously difficult to understand. What exactly is negated, and what is the result? In this case, too, knowing what the word πολύς means in itself doesn't help much; it just means "many", "much" etc. It's not a number any mo...

Re: Introduction - Is teaching Greek based on a fraud?
At best, it misleads. At worst, perhaps, it could actually be considered fraudulent. If you suspected you might be kicked out, why did you use that one word which has very strong and even aggressive meaning? Did you really consider as real possibility that all Ancient Greek teachers are liars? Othe...

Re: σουδάριον in John 20.7
If I have understood the words correctly, then 1. It's χωρὶς which creates the translation "separate" (contra Jean above). 2. The difference may come from how χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον is interpreted. It could be possible to take it as tightly connected, χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον = folded to be sepa...

Re: Miscellaneous vocabulary questions
A suggestion to Jonathan: while you use and cite an answering bot, could you show us the questions you fed to it, too? AI chat is a new thing and not everyone can use them, so it might be useful to show how to get relevant information from them. A suggestion to Gladys: at least some of your question...

Re: G1096 Ginomai - meaning of the word
To add to what Jonathan said -- Words get their meanings in the contexts in which they are used. On and the same word can "mean" different thing in different contexts. Even a detailed dictionary or lexicon can't exhaust all possible nuanced meanings, let alone pragmatic nuances or connotat...

Re: Acts 21:25
You don't seem to have checked dictionnaries. OK, the verb is common and versatile. Indeed it can mean observe, keep etc. (not "keep for/by itself"!) under some circumstances. This is backed up by Thayer, not by LSJ. But does it mean that here ? That's not something you can just choose. T...

Re: Acts 21:25
My assumption is that φυλάσσω in the middle voice can mean "to keep for/by itself" according to what mean/express the middle voice in general. You make two mistakes here. First, that's not what middle voice means. The current majority view (of those who have kept themselves informed about...
