1 Which of these Luso middles belong to the thematic class (Aorist stem + medio-passive endings)? Select all that apply φάγομαι δέξομαι πίομαι ἅψομαι πεσοῦμαι
φάγομαι (ἔφαγον) , πίομαι (ἔπιον) , and πεσοῦμαι (ἔπεσον) are built on Aorist stems. δέξομαι and ἅψομαι add σ to the present stem.
2 What does the history of the σ in Luso illustrate about etymology? A form’s original meaning always determines its later meaning The σ has always encoded future tense A form’s history cannot determine its meaning at the time of use Luso and Elusa must share the same aspect
The σ may once have marked perfective aspect, but the future use became its encoded meaning. That kind of change shows the danger of reading meaning from etymology.
3 Which contraction rule produces φοβῇ from φοβέ-ῃ ? ε + ε = ει ε + ο = ου ε + ω = ω ε + η = η
With e-class vowels, ε + η contracts to η . φοβῇ is the only Luo medio-passive form with a long theme vowel.
4 κρατεῖτε can be either the Luo indicative 2nd plural or the Luo imperative 2nd plural.True or false True False
Both κρατε-ετε forms contract to κρατεῖτε , so the indicative and imperative plural forms are identical.
5 Which of these are plural forms of the relative pronoun? Select all that apply οἵ ὅ ὧν ἅς ὅτι
οἵ (masc nom pl), ὧν (gen pl), and ἅς (fem acc pl) are plural. ὅ is the neuter singular, and ὅτι is a conjunction.
6 Why is οἳ ἦσαν κοινωνοὶ τῷ Σίμωνι (Luke 5:10), said of James and John, a nonrestrictive clause? Its referents are already identified, and it is set off by a comma It identifies which James and John are meant It uses a plural relative pronoun It follows a proper noun, so it must be restrictive
The clause is not needed to pick out the referents, who are already known, and a comma precedes it.
7 How is ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀνὰ δύο (Luke 10:1) best translated? He sent them up two by two He sent two of them He sent them between the two He sent them out by twos
With numbers, ἀνά specifies how many individuals are in each group: ‘by twos.’
8 What two words combine to form διό ? δέ + ὅτι διά + οὖν διά + ὅ δή + ὅ
διό combines the preposition διά , which often introduces a reason, with the relative pronoun ὅ , giving ‘for this reason, therefore.’
9 Like οὖν , the conjunction διό is postpositive. True or false True False
Although διό means much the same as οὖν , it is not postpositive.
