Phillip:
Perhaps Perschenbacher and Wallace had Paul's ELACISTOTEROS in mind from
Ephesians 3:8: "less than the least" or "the leastest". Reminds me of
"the Hostess with the mostest" in /Call me Madam/. 8-D
Am I right? I only have JH Moulton, /An Introduction to the Study of NT
Greek/ (revised ed 1955) and HPV Nunn, /The Elements of NT Greek/ (3rd ed
1923) here. Moulton does have short sections on both Comparatives and
Superlatives: see his Index II. Nunn also has paragraphs on /The Comparison
of Adjectives/ (pp 83f) and /The Superlative/ (p 84).
