Class Notes and Comments
Our class for Saturday, January 5, 2008 will meet at 10:45 a.m., following the Divine Liturgy (9:00 a.m.). The Great Blessing of the Waters will follow the Liturgy, but we can begin our class and we will be "blessed" by the sprinkled waters when Fr. Justin blesses the dining room - so be prepared to cover/protect your books and New Testaments at that time! :)
Class Schedule Reminder:
December 22: (not meet) Christmas
December 29: (not meet) New Year's

Lessons 25 & 26: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):
174. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.
176.-179. Familiarize yourself with these forms of nouns and adjectives. Mastronarde has a more extensive chart of adjective forms than Croy, including additional 3rd-Declension Adjective forms; his chart can be viewed here: Adjective Paradigm Index. Some of these words and forms may not occur in NT Greek. Also, Mastronarde shows the "dual" form (i.e., when a noun or adjective refers to things that come in pairs - e.g., eyes, hands, feet, etc.). The Greek dual had fallen out of use by NT times.
180. Do all the Exercises.
181. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.
183.-185. Memorize all these Imperative forms.
187. Read this.
188. Memorize the Imperative form of ειμι.
189. Do all the Exercises.
If we continue with Κατα Ιωαννην The Gospel According to John, we'll take up where we left off at 2:1.

Class Notes and Comments
NOTE: The next class will be Saturday, December 8. We will review Lessons 22 & 23, and preview Lesson 24.
Lesson 22: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):
154. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.
155. Note that some forms of liquid Future Indicatives look identical to their Present Indicative except for the accent.
156. Liquid First Aorist Indicative verbs do not have the σ in the tense formative.
157. Review the chart of Common Liquid Verbs.
158. and 159. Read these. Note that Possessive Adjectives are different than the genitive of Personal Pronouns even though they have the same semantic function (i.e., to indicate possession).
160. Do all the Exercises.
Lesson 23: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):
161. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.
162. Read this.
163. Learn/Memorize the Subjunctive forms. Note how they resemble and differ from forms you already know. Since it's not the Indicative Mood, the Aorist Subjunctive does not have the prefixed ε, but it does have the σ (First Aorist Active or Middle) or θ (First Aorist Passive) Aorist tense formative.
164. Study this.
165. As with all non-Indicative moods (i.e., Infinitive, Participle, Imperative, Optative, Subjunctive), the Present Subjunctive indicates continuous action (as opposed to "present time" action) and the Aorist Subjunctive indicates action viewed as a whole (as opposed to "past time" action).
166. Memorize the Present Subjunctive of ειμι. Note that it's simply the connecting vowel + ending of the Present Active Subjunctive, with a smooth breathing + circumflex accent on the first syllable.
167. Do all the Exercises.
We'll again continue our reading with Κατα Ιωαννην The Gospel According to John, 1:43.
NOTE: The next class will be Saturday, December 8. We will review Lessons 22 & 23, and preview Lesson 24.

For my benefit and your own, if we skip one week, I don't want us to miss a Lesson, so I'd have you do 2 Lessons for the 2 weeks between classes. If you get stuck during those 2 weeks, you can call or email me with any questions you have or problems you encounter.
However, if we have to skip more than 1 week (see below), then I will only expect you to do 2 Lessons during those weeks. Thus, the probable schedules will be as follows, and we will only fall behind by 2 weeks overall:
