Decker's Reading Koine Greek Page 81

[Ιακοβ]

I suspect the text highlighted is wrong, but I don't have a paper version of this book to confirm. Does anyone have the paper version of this handy to confirm or deny this? (The nearest bookshop where I could check this is a one hour drive away).

 

[Λύχνις Δαν]

Hi Ιακοβ,

 

  The νσι is correct. The ν drops out due to the following σ and the vowel lengthens to compensate so you get λυουσι in the third plural. Mounce Morhphology of Biblical Greek gives the details.

 

Thx

The last letter in this Google Book excerpt is cut off, but I think you were asking about the first ν anyway.

It is correct.

Neat, I need to learn how to do that!

 

It is correct.

 

Thanks Rick, this way of forming the greek endings is new to me, and the Accordance Hebrew textbook I am using has three mistakes in tables (that I have found so far), so I wasn't sure.

I just took part of the phrase in question and Googled it with quotation marks--often that will lead you to a Google excerpt or Amazon look inside.
