e All modern greeks (myself included) can understand the old greek used in writing the gospels. Bur unless a modern greek (myself included) has seriously studied ancient greek in university, he can't understand (let alone speak) ancient greek (i.e. the greek spoken by achilles, leonidas, etc..) So if a modern greek travelled back in time, lets say in the time the parthenon was built, and met an ancient greek of that time, then with the exception of just a few words, they wouldn't be able to understand each other. I've often wanted to try learning ancient greek, but I've never started, since it's insanely difficult.. t gospels 'elaDya' Hol ngo' luyajlaH Hoch bovvam 'elaDya'nganpu' (jIH je).

{-'egh} and {-chuq} with {-lu'}
by mayqel qunen'oS 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Is there anything strange in using {-'egh}/{-chuq} with {-lu'}? Quch'eghlu' QuchchuqmoHlu' I don't see anything grammatically wrong, but using {-'egh}/{-chuq} with {-lu'}, gives me the feeling as in using {-lu'} with {-wI'} (e.g. HIvlu'wI'), which although it doesn't break any rules, it's something we don't actually use. ~ Dana'an

the problem with {naw'wat}
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

naw'wat (n) remote, small, desolate place And I wonder.. Why does a remote, desolate place necessarily need to be small? Aren't there remote, desolate places of the "big" kind? So why would 'oqranD give a word, which on one hand functions as a tool to express ourselves further, but at the same time tie our hands restricting its' meaning like this? If 'oqranD had defined {naw'wat} as "remote, desolate place", and that's it, then it would be easy to describe it further as "big" or "small", and only if the size of the place was actually of any significance. But now we can't. So we're stuck with a word that only works one third of the time: 1/3 remote, desolate place which is big 1/3 remote, desolate place which is small 1/3 remote, desolate place which is average ~ Dana'an
