Re: Tech question: Greek and Hebrew fonts
Thank you, Jason, but I have run into a problem. I followed the instructions. I downloaded and installed all three fonts, SBL BibLit, SBL Greek, and SBL Hebrew. The trouble is that when I go to “Insert symbol” and look at the fonts on the screen, I see exactly the same font all three times … and it’...

Tech question: Greek and Hebrew fonts
My computer is still working, and working very well, on Windows 7. When I bought it, back in about 2015, several of the fonts had the full Greek and Hebrew alphabets, along with Cyrillic, Arabic, and possibly one or two others that I never used. Now, just a few days ago, all those non-Roman alphabet...

Re: Is ἀρσενοκοίτης Biblical dialect for ἀρρενοκοίτης?
Thank you, Tony. That's something useful I learned today!
That seems to leave us, then, back where we started, without a single occurrence of the word ἀρσενοκοίτης (in either spelling) outside the NT. Is that it?

Re: Is ἀρσενοκοίτης Biblical dialect for ἀρρενοκοίτης?
This is an interesting question but I’m sorry to say I’ve reached a dead end. According to Liddell & Scott (first link below), the compound ἀρσενοκοίτης is found, just once, in Diogenes Laertius, at the reference 6:65. I’ve found that passage in an old (1925) Loeb edition, on pp. 66-67 (second l...

Re: Is ἀρσενοκοίτης Biblical dialect for ἀρρενοκοίτης?
Hatch-Redpath lists the entry as ἄρσην, ἄρρην. That suggests that, in Septuagint use, ἄρσην is the more usual spelling.

Sophokles, Sophocles, and the OUP
Please forgive me for asking a question that is now twenty years old and, in any case, has only a tenuous connection with Biblical Greek, but it would be helpful to know which way to turn when confronted with this fork in the road. The OUP series titled Greek Tragedy in New Translations introduces w...

Re: A Question about case ending
Briefly, yes, the endings do vary with gender and number as well as with case. Why does Mounce call them “case endings”? I don't know, but they can also be called "noun endings", to distinguish them from verb endings.

Re: ξύλον translated as “tree” in Deuteronomy and Acts
Thank you, Eeli. That’s interesting about Finnish. I wonder whether there are any other languages that similarly have a single word for both “tree” and “wood”. If Google Translate is to be believed, even Estonian has separate (though apparently cognate) words, respectively puu and puit. Getting back...
