Koine Greek
Good to see more editors coming in with an interest in Greek linguistics! I was just wondering whether your edits weren't maybe overstating the difference between "normal" Koine and "Semitic" Koine a bit. From what I remember, the hypothesis that biblical Koine was significantly influenced by Semitic substrate on a grammatical level (i.e., apart from obvious lexical loans and such) is not undisputed. Could you perhaps indicate which studies you are basing your statements on? Maybe we can rewrite it in such a way that we get a section on "Semitic influences on Biblical Koine", presenting the various hypotheses in contrast? -- Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
