Right, I have only suggested a listing of factors.
And my only question at this point is whether I have correctly identified
the four key factors that exert the greatest influence upon one's
interpretation of Greek prepositions and if I have stated them clearly and
succinctly enough to be useful for my continued studies.
Thanks!
