1) Case: As we have seen, one should approach Greek nouns in a way similar to
that of Greek verbs, namely, morphologically. That is, one should ALWAYS
look at the morphemes first! In the last set of notes (#10), we became acquainted
with the “cases” of Greek nouns. Here is a chart which will help you familiarize
yourself with the various functions of the Greek cases (*Note that within the 5
main cases, there are often other cases, they are less prominent and are italicized
and emboldened in the list here in the “function” column):
SG PL N - Sg oj N - Sg on
1 w men G - Sg ou G - Sg ou
2 eij te D - Sg w| D - Sg w|
3 ei ousi (n) A - Sg on A - Sg on
