HansK Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The Gr. verb ktizo occurs twice in Col 1:16. The voice is passive in both cases. I believe that the second occurrence is tagged wrong in GNT-BYZ. Or do I miss something here? I am no Gr. expert. Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco V. Fabbri Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I haven't done the tagging myself, but I think that I know what happens. A few years ago, before the Accordance Forums were made, there was a discussion about Middle and Passive in the old Accordance mailing list, that reflected similar discussions in the [b-Greek] mailing list. Should forms of the type -μαι, -σαι, -ται be tagged according to morphology, or according to meaning? According to form, ἔκτισται is Middle, at least if we call Middle the form -μαι, -σαι, -ται. According to meaning, it is passive, as ἐκτίσθη that comes before it. In GNT-T the decision was taken that, whenever meaning would require a tag and form would require another, both would be provided as alternate tags. This is what I see in ἔκτισται.

Julia Falling Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 One other thing to note: the aorist has distinct active, middle, and passive forms. The perfect, on the other hand, has just two forms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
