  2. Vocabulary # 123 • Adjectives of 1st/2nd declension whose stems end in e( i( or r are a-type in feminine singular. • In today’s vocabulary, mo,noj is h-type – put it on your card as mo,noj( &h( &on) • All the rest are a-type – list them as di,kaioj( &a( &on( etc. • These decline just like the ones in Lesson 17 except they have a in the endings throughout the feminine singular (see #124). • Note ambiguous forms: • &aj could be gen. fem. sing. or acc. fem. pl. • &a could be nom./voc. fem. sing. or nom./acc. neut. pl.

  3. “Two-Termination” Adjectives (# 125) • Some adjectives have only two sets of endings – one for masculine/feminine and one for neuter. • In the declension, there is no column for the feminine – the masculine forms double for the feminine. • They are listed as: • a;dikoj( &on( unjust, unrighteous (add to vocab.) • aivw,nioj is usually treated as 2-termination, though forms like aivw,nia sometimes occur; list it as aivw,nioj( $&a%( &on( eternal • In construction, these will look like mismatches: • h` avdiko,j evntolh, = the unjust commandment • h` aivw,nioj zwh, = (the) eternal life • Context determines whether such forms are masc. or fem. • If they modify feminine nouns, they should be located as fem.

  4. Declension of a;dikoj( &on • No column for feminine. • Masculine forms double for feminine. • Context determines whether they are masc. or fem.

  5. Adjective Usage • Attributive – immediately follows article (Lesson 17) • Adjective modifies noun. • oi` kaloi. a;nqrwpoi = the good men. • Predicate –does not immediately follow article(Les. 17) • Adjective makes additional statement. • oi` a;nqrwpoi kaloi, = the men are good. • Substantive (# 127) – like attributive but noun is understood and supplied in translation. • oi` kaloi, = the good ones (men or people) • to. avgaqo,n = the good thing • th|/ tri,th| = on the third day • Gender, number, and context determine the noun to be supplied in translation.

  6. Adjectival Use of Prepositional Phrases (# 126) • Prepositional phrases are often used like adjectives in attributive position – stand between article and its noun. • oi` kaloi. a;nqrwpoi = the good men • oi` evn tw/| oi;kw| a;nqrwpoi = the in-the-house men = the men in the house • Prepositional phrases can also be used substantively – with the noun understood and supplied in translation. • oi` kaloi = good men (ones, people) • oi` evn tw/| oi;kw/| = the men (ones, people) in the house • ta, evn toi/j ouvranoi/j = the things in the heavens
