10 questions · self-graded
1 Which pairings of traditional term and new form name are correct? Select all that apply Present = Luo Sigmatic Aorist = Efagon Future = Luso Imperfect = Eluon Thematic Aorist = Elusa
The sigmatic (1st) Aorist is Elusa and the thematic (2nd) Aorist is Efagon; the other three pairings are correct.
2 Parse ἐλάμβανες . 2nd singular Efagon 2nd singular Luo 3rd singular Eluon 2nd singular Eluon
It has the augment plus the Luo stem λαμβαν- with the -ες ending: 2s Eluon. The Efagon would be ἔλαβες .
3 Which form is the 3rd singular Eluon of εἰμί ? ἦς ἤμην ἦν ἐστιν
The 3s is ἦν , with the characteristic ν , which is not movable here.
4 What is the dative singular of γυνή ? γυναικί γυνῇ γυναῖκι γυναικός
γυνή uses the stem γυναικ- with the 3rd declension -ι , and the genitive/dative attract the accent to the ultima: γυναικί .
5 Which of these vocabulary nouns are 3rd declension -ξ nouns? Select all that apply ἡ σάρξ ὁ ἐνιαυτός ἡ νύξ ἡ φυλή ἡ σάλπιγξ ἡ ἀκοή
σάρξ (σαρκός) , νύξ (νυκτός) , and σάλπιγξ (-ιγγος) have stems in κ or γ that form ξ with the nominative -ς .
6 Because Eluon says nothing about the endpoints of an eventuality, it combines straightforwardly with states such as εἰμί . True or false True False
States have no natural endpoint, and Eluon (unlike the perfective Aorist) does not mark endpoints, so Eluon simply says the state held in the past.
7 In ὅτε ἦν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ , some women followed him (Mark 15:41), how does the ὅτε clause relate to the women’s following? The two eventualities overlap in time The following happened before Jesus arrived The following happened after Jesus left Galilee The ὅτε clause gives the reason for the following
With an Eluon verb, the ὅτε eventuality has not ended, so it is interpreted as overlapping with the other eventuality.
8 Which is one reason given for avoiding the traditional term ‘imperfect’? It wrongly suggests a contrast with the perfect, when the counterpart is the Aorist It implies the form refers to the future It is the linguistic term for the Aorist It links the form too closely to the present
The label suggests a contrast with the ‘perfect,’ yet the form’s counterpart is the perfective Aorist; it also fails to connect the form with the present, which shares its aspect.
9 When the centurion says οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος υἱὸς θεοῦ ἦν (Mark 15:39), the verb form implies Jesus is still alive. True or false True False
ἦν is Eluon; with a permanent state it produces the lifetime effect because Jesus is now dead. The Luo form would imply he was still alive.
10 What does the conjunction γάρ mean? but for when so, therefore
γάρ is glossed ‘for.’
