Error in William D. Mounce's Morphology of Biblical Greek?

Post by Leonard Jayawardena »

Recently, I started going through Mounce's Morphology of Biblical Greek and came across what appears to be an error in section 2.7, page 4.

According to the chart given in section 2.1, when both epsilon and eta are followed by alpha, the result is eta, but in section 2.7 it is shown as alpha. Isn't this an error?

Looks like an error to me

If you are referring to the last two rows in the table in 2.7
ε + η -> α
η + α -> α

these have been corrected in my edition in Accordance to :

ε + η -> η
η + α -> η

So I guess the error was found and corrected in a later edition.

My print edition shows as Matthew has posted below.

Thx
