Exceptions to the "article minus t" rule also include the masculine and feminine nominative plural pronouns, which--like the feminine singular nominative--lack the initial t in the first place.
The quotation on p.112 should read, "You (pl.) received a spirit of adoption," not "We have a spirit of adoption."
p. 113, examples toward bottom of page (MC) : Cannot the 2nd example ti/ni proseu&xetai also (and more naturally) be "to whom" is he praying? (AKMA) Yes, quite so.
p.114 bottom (MC): The dative plural line of o#stis needs moveable nu added in parentheses.
On p. 115, the second line should specify that the "neuter singular nominative and accusative" forms of the indefinite relative remain separate.
p.116 section on reciprocal pronouns (MC): You use "oblique," which I don't recall your defining in this textbook. An index, and/or a glossary of grammatical terms, would be much welcome in the 2nd edition. (AKMA): Point well taken.
On p. 116, students should be urged to pay special attention to the principal parts of katabai/nw.
p. 116, Study checklist (MC): You should repeat that the relative "typically" agrees in gender and number. I would also recommend a discussion of attraction (or apparent attraction) of GENDER in this chapter, esp given your exercise #10 p. 117 where h#tis agrees with e)kklhsi/a not its antecedent (see my comments re p. 55). (AKMA) Yes, though (he said, somewhat defensively) in this case I have specifically indicated that this agreement is not invariable (p. 113) and the Study Checklist doesn't say "always."
p.117 #2 2nd line (MC): ui(o\n should have a grave on the ultima, not an acute on the penult.
p. 117 #3 2nd line (MC): marturi/an is missing its tau as the 4th letter.
On p. 117, sentence 8, the word ai)wni/ou should have an asterisk.
Exercise 9 repeats a sentence from Lesson XVI.
p.118 #11 (MC): The fifth word, ei]don, should have a circumflex accent, not an acute.
p.118 #13 (MC) - The perfect active of ble&pw would here be beble&famen, not beble&fomen (incorrect vowel in the penult). I understand you want to adapt I Jn's e(wra&kamen, but since the perf of ble&pw is so rare (it isn't in the NT, or I couldn't find it, at least), however, why not simply omit this phrase? (AKMA) These are points well taken; I'll look into this.
On p. 118, sentence 15, the word ou)dei\v should have an asterisk, and in sentence 16, the word a)ph~lqon should not have an asterisk.
p.118 #19 (MC): The first word tine\j is indefinite, not interrogative, and so should have a grave on the ultima, not an acute on the penult.
p.118 #20 first line (MC): the article th~| requires po&lei not po&lin.
