1 Which paradigm does the transitive Aorist ἔστησα follow? The γινώσκω /-βαίνω Aorist paradigm A normal sigmatic Aorist The thematic (Efagon) Aorist The Leluka paradigm
Transitive ἔστησα looks like a normal sigmatic Aorist; intransitive ἔστην follows the γινώσκω /-βαίνω pattern.
2 Which forms of ἵστημι have the passive meaning ‘to be stood’? Select all that apply ἐστάθην σταθήσομαι ἔστην ἵστημι σταθείς
The Aorist passive ἐστάθην , the Luso passive σταθήσομαι , and the Aorist passive participle σταθείς are passive; ἔστην is intransitive and ἵστημι transitive.
3 Which form is the Leluka infinitive of ἵστημι ? στῆσαι στῆναι σταθῆναι ἑστάναι
The Leluka infinitive is ἑστάναι ; στῆσαι is transitive Aorist, στῆναι intransitive Aorist, and σταθῆναι Aorist passive.
4 κεῖμαι and κάθημαι are found in both imperfective and perfective aspect.True or false True False
Both verbs are only found with imperfective aspect (Luo and Eluon forms), which lack theme vowels.
5 In which syntactic roles can an infinitive clause function like a noun? Select all that apply As the direct object of θέλω As the subject of a nonverbal predicate like οὐ … καλόν As a vocative of address As the subject of a finite verb like ‘defile’
Infinitive clauses serve as direct objects, subjects of nonverbal predicates, and subjects of finite verbs, allowing properties to be attributed to eventualities.
6 What largely determines whether an imperative is read as a command, suggestion, or request? The aspect of the verb Whether the verb is middle or passive The relative social ranking of speaker and addressee The presence of ἄν
The force of the imperative depends on relative social ranking; it can also express a wish where no action is expected.
7 Which construction would express ‘Before John was handed over, Jesus came to Galilee’? ἐν τῷ παραδίδοσθαι τὸν Ἰωάννην μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην πρὸ τοῦ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην διὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην
πρό with the genitive article τοῦ gives ‘before’; μετά gives ‘after’ and ἐν gives temporal overlap.
8 Why does the ἐν version of the Mark 1:14 example use the Luo passive παραδίδοσθαι instead of παραδοθῆναι ? Because ἐν requires the genitive article Because Luo is the expected form when the infinitive eventuality overlaps with the main clause Because the infinitive event precedes the main clause Because the subject of the infinitive is dative
Temporal overlap (‘when John was being handed over’) calls for the imperfective Luo form.
9 What does καθίστημί σε ἐπί τινος mean? (I) stand before you (I) drag something (I) rule something/one (I) appoint you over something/one
καθίστημι with ἐπί + genitive means ‘appoint you over something/one’; ἐφίστημί σοι means ‘stand before you.’
