1 Which article and noun form the masculine genitive singular? τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ὁ ἄνθρωπος
The genitive is characterized by an o-vowel: τοῦ ἀνθρώπου . τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ is the dative.
2 Which of these phrases are dative singular? Select all that apply τῷ τέκνῳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ τοῦ τέκνου τῆς ἀδελφῆς τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ
The dative is marked by ι , often written as a subscript (τῷ , τῇ , -ῳ , -ῇ) ; τοῦ τέκνου and τῆς ἀδελφῆς are genitive.
3 Which statements about accents and vowel length are correct? Select all that apply When the final syllable is long, an acute can go back only as far as the penultima A circumflex on the penultima becomes an acute when the final syllable is long An acute on the ultima becomes a circumflex when the final syllable is lengthened An acute can go back to the antepenultima whatever the length of the final syllable
These rules explain ἀνθρώπῳ , δούλῳ , and ἀδελφῇ . The antepenultima is possible only when the final syllable is short.
4 In the genitive and dative singular, masculine and neuter nouns share the same endings (e.g. τοῦ ἀνθρώπου and τοῦ τέκνου) . True or false True False
Masculine and neuter both take -ου in the genitive and -ῳ in the dative singular.
5 In ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας 'the son of Mary' (Mark 6:3), what relationship does the genitive express? Instrument Recipient Location Familial relation
The meaning of 'son' specifies a parent-child relationship, and the genitive supplies the person in that relationship.
6 With φέρω , Mark 7:32 marks the recipient with the dative, while Mark 2:3 uses πρός plus the accusative. What is this called? Recessive accenting The dative alternation The additive use Indeclinability
In the dative alternation, either a dative noun or a prepositional phrase can refer to someone in the same role, here the recipient.
7 In 'To kill ἐν [with] sword' (Rev 6:8), what does ἐν introduce? A location A recipient An instrument A stative condition
Like the dative case itself, ἐν can introduce an instrument, the object used to perform the action.
8 The verb ἀκούω can take the thing heard in either the accusative or the genitive. True or false True False
John 3:8 has τὴν φωνήν (acc) and John 10:3 has τῆς φωνῆς (gen). Such argument realizations are part of a verb's lexical information.
9 In θεοῦ φωνή 'God's voice' (Acts 12:22), the genitive comes after the noun it modifies. True or false True False
Here the genitive θεοῦ comes before φωνή , while in ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας it comes after, so the genitive can appear on either side.
