1 Which of these phrases is neuter plural (nominative or accusative)? τὰ τέκνα τὸ τέκνον τοῦ τέκνου τῷ τέκνῳ
An α marks the neuter plural, with τ added in the article: τὰ τέκνα , the same form in nominative and accusative.
2 Which of these forms are plural? Select all that apply κράζουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸ τέκνον τὰς ἀδελφάς κράζει
κράζουσιν is 3p, οἱ ἄνθρωποι is masculine nominative plural, and τὰς ἀδελφάς is feminine accusative plural; τὸ τέκνον and κράζει are singular.
3 Which endings on ἄνθρωπος have a long final syllable that pulls the accent forward to the penultima? Select all that apply -ους (acc pl) -οι (nom pl) -ου (gen sg) -ον (acc sg) -ῳ (dat sg)
ἀνθρώπους , ἀνθρώπου , and ἀνθρώπῳ end in long vowels. Final οι counts as short, so the nominative plural stays ἄνθρωποι .
4 The neuter plural has the same form in the nominative and the accusative (τὰ τέκνα) . True or false True False
As in the singular, the neuter nominative and accusative plural are identical: τὰ τέκν-α .
5 Why is ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ learned as a phrase? It refers more specifically to the temple It is an indeclinable name It contains a movable ν It uses an elided preposition
Literally 'the house of God', the phrase more specifically refers to the temple, so it is useful to learn it as a whole.
6 In 'Grace to you and peace ἀπό God' (Rom 1:7), which use of ἀπό appears? Movement away from a person Relational separation Cause Source of something
ἀπό here marks the source of a quality emanating from someone, since grace and peace come from God.
7 How is ἀπό written before ἀνθρώπου , which begins with a smooth breathing? ἀπ’ ἀνθρώπου ἀφ’ ἀνθρώπου ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου
Before a vowel the final ο is replaced by an apostrophe; π becomes φ only before a rough breathing, as in ἀφ’ ἵππου .
8 The diphthongs αι and οι always count as long, even when they end a word by themselves. True or false True False
Diphthongs are almost always long, but αι and οι at the very end of a word are ordinarily short (οι is short in ἄνθρωποι but long in ἀνθρώποις) .
9 What does φεύγω ἀπὸ τῆς mean? (I) write the (acc) (I) weep (I) flee from the (gen) (I) shake the (acc)
φεύγω means 'flee', and ἀπό with the genitive article marks what is fled from.
