In Acts 5,4, TI hOTI appears to be short for TI GEGENOEN hOTI
translated as "Why has it happened that"
How would you parse GEGENOEN?
_________
I don't know how one would parse GEGENOEN, but, if you mean GEGONEN (most
likely), that is the perfect 3 s of GINOMAI. I would not, however, supply
GEGONEN here. ESTI is a more likely candidate in my mind. It would then read
TI [ESTI] hOTI EQOU EN THi KARDIAi SOU TO PRAGMA TOUTO . . .
Extremely literally: "What is it that put this deed in your heart . . ."
OR
"What made you decide to do this . . . "
If you were to supply GEGONEN, it would be more like
"What happened that it put this deed in your heart . .."
