Strana 975 - In composition with verbs, the prepositions are always used adverbially. Hence, in the older state of the language, in Homer and Herodotus, it is customary to find the preposition and verb separated by other words, and the former coming sometimes immediately after the verb; as, f¡iuv ¿что \oiyov ¿fivvat(ll.
Strana 692 - Demonstrative prononns are often not in the gender of the substantive to which they refer, but in the neuter, provided the idea of the substantive in the abstract be considered generally as a thing or matter. (Matthur, § 439.) § П. 'A/i<t>Ae£ívTtov TI. " Having disputed about something.
Strana 796 - Very often, however, the optative serves to express even the most definite assertions with modesty and politeness, as a mere conjecture ; a moderation which, in consequence of their political equality, was peculiar to all the Greeks, but particularly the Athenians, and which very seldom occurs in modern languages. Thus, Aristoph., Plut., 284, ойкет' ùv кргпрацл, "I will no longer conceal it from you.
Strana 834 - When any thing that has been said or thought by another is quoted as such, not as an idea...
Strana 858 - If the leading verb by itself governs another case than the accusative, either that case or the accusative may accompany it, when the infinitive follows. Cf. Mt. § 537 ; S. § 158. N. 4. See also N. II. 1. § 2. 2.
Strana 634 - Many verbs have the accusative not only of the nearer and more immediate object of the action, but also of the more remote object of it, ie the person or thing to which the action with its immediate object passes, which in English is generally expressed by a dative ; as eu or 7-oaiui iroisiv TI»«, " to do good or harm to any one ;" ív or mxug Xsyeiv TIVK, " to speak well or ill of any one.
Strana 589 - The verbs iiisti and yi-yua-Bxi are often accompanied by a participle of the verb, "to wish," &c., in the dative ; in which case the participle only, as the leading idea, is translated by the finite verb.
Strana 571 - verbs denoting possession, firo~ fterey, duty, &c. govern the genitive," and that the " material of which any thing is made is put in the genitive." IV. ' The genitive is also put with verbs compounded with prepositions which govern the genitive, that is to say, when these prepositions may be separated from the verb, and placed immediately before the case, without altering the signification of the verb; as «mirafsx»» т» nvoç, for Taçs^ii» т» »VT» Tivo; ; airoTtiíos v ¿;^.хти, for...
Strana 701 - When an adjective is put with an auxiliary verb, as predicate, without referring to a proper subject, consisting of one word, it is properly in the neuter singular; the Greeks, however, often put the neuter plural. Herod. 1,91. rr\v тгетгршfji€vi\v fioîpav ¿SúroTÚ ¿<TTi атгофи-yéeii
Strana 1007 - for," never stands at the beginning of a proposition or clause, but, instead of it, xal yap is used at the beginning, like etenim in Latin.
