(phrase 4)
mh; ajpovlhtai
ajll= e[ch/ zwh;n aijwvnion.
ajll= e[ch/ zwh;n aijwvnion.
- You know what mhv means.
- ajpovlhtai means "might perish." It is a weird verb that you wouldn't learn this year.
- ajll= looks like ajllav, doesn't it? Actually, it is. When ajllav is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, ajllav changes to ajll=. It does this because it is easier to say. We do the same thing in English, don't we? Can you think of when we change the form of a word when the next word begins with a vowel?)
- e[ch/ means "he (or she) might have."
- zwh;n is from the feminine word zwvh that means "life." We will learn this in the Section 6.
- aijwvnion means "eternal." This is another way to list an adjective. "Life eternal" means "eternal life."
