“The letter γ is sounded like n before the letters γ, κ, χ, ξ:” (Page 3)

“Both alphabets were derived from the Phoenician alphabet, from which the Hebrew alphabet also took its origin.” (Page 1)

“The Aorist Imperative has no augment because it is not regarded as a past tense. The difference in meaning between it and the Present Imperative is that while the Present Imperative denotes a command or entreaty to Continue to do an action, to do it Habitually, the Aorist Imperative denotes a command or entreaty simply to do an action Without any Regard to its continuance or frequency.” (Page 48)

“The meaning of the Imperfect. Strictly speaking, the Imperfect denotes continuous action in past time, or action often repeated in past time, and is represented by the English Past Continuous forms given in the tables above.” (Page 23)

“The Present tense in Greek in moods other than the Indicative denotes Continuous action, action In Progress, or Repeated action rather than action in present time.” (Page 32)
