A Grammar for New Testament Greek

Lesson V

 

Errata!

This is about as big an erratum as you can get, and it boggles my mind that it persisted through the production process. In the first paragraph, the text reverses the rule for determining whether a noun follows the "mixed" declension pattern or the alpha-only declension pattern. As subsequent paradigms indicate, it is the stems that end in i, e, or r that maintain alpha as the vowel in their ending; stems that end in any letter except i, e, or r alternate between alpha and eta (not that there are very many of these nouns relative to the alpha-only or eta-only patterns).

On page 30, just before the introduction of "Understanding Sentence Structure," the word "Lesson" should have an upper-case "L." A small thing, in this context, but one wants to catch every single slip.

In exercise 10, the accent on yuxaj should be a grave accent: yuca_j.

On page 33, the header has "Excercises" where it should read "Exercises."
