4.22 Vocabulary

New Words: Read the new words in Croy Lesson 4 out loud, paying careful attention to the sound of the Greek and the English meanings of each word.

Parts of Speech: It is best to study vocabulary based on parts of speech, so you need to be clear about the different parts of speech represented in the vocabulary for this lesson. Once again, the nouns are shown with both the nominative singular and the genitive singular form.

Postpositives. In the "Other" category this week, you will find the word δέ which is a postpositive form in Greek. This means that the word cannot come first in its clause. Instead, it follows the first word (or word group). Most postpositives are a kind of "verbal punctuation" which can be difficult to translate into English. Greek originally did not have any punctuation marks at all, and even when punctuation marks were added to the written texts later on, they were much less extensive than the punctuation marks we are used to in English. Greek, however, used these words to serve much the same purpose as punctuation does in English. You will be able to see this more clearly when you encounter some more examples of postpositives in later lessons.
