• Review Noun Rules

The Eight Noun Rules (Mounce, p. 344)

1. Stems ending in α,η are 1st declension, stems ending in o are 2nd, consonantal stems are 3rd
   
   
2. Neuters are always the same in Nominative and Accusative
   
   
3. Almost all neuter plurals end in -α
   
   
4. Iota always subscripts in Dative singular, if possible (not possible in 3rd declension, since iota only subscripts under vowels)
   
   
5. Vowels often change their length (Ablaut)
   
   
6. Masculine and Neuter always the same in Genitive and Dative

7. The Square of Stops (Mounce p. 83)

   	Voiceless	Voiced	Aspirate	With Sigma
   Labials	π	β	φ	+ σ => ψ
   Velars(Palatals)	κ	γ	χ	+ σ => ξ
   Dentals	τ	δ	θ	+ σ => σσ => σ

   
   
   
8. Tau cannot stand at the end of a word, and will drop off (ντ + ς = ς)

αὐτός – See Smyth on αὐτός

• Declined like 2-1-2 adjectives
• Used in 3 distinct ways:
1. 3rd Personal Pronoun (he, she, it)
   • Unlike 1st and 2nd personal pronouns, αὐτός has gender, for obvious reasons.
   • Case is determined by function in sentence
   • Gender and Number is determined by its antecedent
   • Gender includes grammatical as well as natural gender (cite examples)
2. Adjectival Intensive – as an adjective in the predicate position (usually), translate with the reflexive pronoun: “he himself”
   • ὁ ἄνθρωπος αὐτὸς = “the man himself”
   • since it is not required (verb contains subject implicitly), it is sometimes emphatic
   • not to be confused with the predicate adjective, i.e. not “the man is himself”
   • can also be used with 1st and 2nd personal pronouns: ἐγὼ αὐτός “I myself” or σὺ αὐτός “you yourself”
   • aka the Intensive Pronoun
3. Identical Adjective – as an adjective in the attributive position (usually) “same”
   • ὁ αὐτὸς ἄνθρωπος = “the same man”
   • Case, gender, number determined by the word it modifies, as with any other adjective

The Lord’s Prayer

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου·
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,
   ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς·
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν,
   ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
   ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δοξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
ἀμήν.
