Re: Verb aspect debate outside of Koine

No, there has not been a verbal aspect debate among classicists and some of them have looked in horror upon what some Koine scholars have been doing. For example, there is a scathing review of Porter by Ruijgh in French on this (Mnemosyne, Fourth Series, Vol. 48, Fasc. 3, June 1995, pp. 352-366).

Re: resource/method using aorist stems

The point of the principal parts is to identify the stems that can’t (always) be derived from the others.

Re: resource/method using aorist stems

I’m old enough to remember that we didn’t have to just learn the present or aorist stem, but all six principal parts.

Re: A metonymic idiom in 2 Cor 2:15a?

Christoph Heilig has written a massive tome on this passage; perhaps you’ll find something useful there. I don’t think that metonymy needs to be an idiom to be viable, and CAUSE-EFFECT metonymy is pretty common and productive. But if you’re interested in whether this specific metonymy exists as an i...

Re: Reid-Heimerdinger - Adjectives and word order

I should add that the excerpt on the second attributive position from Jenny R-H doesn’t differ from my understanding.

Re: Reid-Heimerdinger - Adjectives and word order

I read Wallace as saying that the second attributive position is a default with no special emphasis on the adjective, while there is such on the adjective in the first attributive position. This is somewhat obscured by his statement that both the noun and adjective have emphasis, which seems equival...

Re: Reid-Heimerdinger - Adjectives and word order

I don’t think the second attributive is emphatic position and if you hadn’t quoted Young, I wouldn’t have thought grammars said so. That said, when I read the excerpt from Young, I get the impression that he does not know what emphasis means, or at least he’s using it in a very non-standard and cert...

Re: Mark 16:8, γάρ

It’s not really common to have a one word sentence but when you do and add γάρ to it, it will end in γἀρ. There are sentences that end in γάρ in the LXX and other works, and there’s even an entire book from a pagan philosopher that ends in γάρ. I believe the latest discussion is: https://www.jstor.o...

Re: exclamation or question?

Since questions can be used as exclamations, maybe we're dealing with a false dichotomy. Why not both?
