Notes On Koine Greek: Part 20

1) Koine Greek Tables: So far, we’ve looked at a number of Koine Greek

elements where tables have helped us organize and perhaps understand how
different parts of the Koine language functioned. As a review, I’m posting the 15
tables I’ve created all in one place. So, here they are. Familiarize yourself with
all of these tables before moving on!!! (*Note: I offer the tables here in the order
that they’ve been provided in each successive lesson.)
