342 Table of Greek Correlatives, with Explanations. 
Latin form, quis, quis, quid.—It ought here to be observed, in regard 
to the interrogatives generally, that they are sometimes employed in 
the indirect inquiry. Thus 1. tis, Acts 21:33. 2. sdregos, Hom. 
Il. V. 85. John 7:17. 3. 26005, Acts 21:20. 4. otos, John 12:33, 
6, ayhixos, Gal. 6: 11. 7. tl, Mat. 21:16. 8. adder, Luke 13: 25. 
9. xov, Mat.2:4. 12. aé7e, Mark 13:33. 14. a@s, Mat. 6: 28. This 
use of the interrogative makes a sort of transition or‘approximation 
to the relative, but must be carefully distinguished from it. 
The IV. column, which is nearly complete, consists of indefinites, 
a class of words more easy to apprehend by usage, than to describe 
by definition. They are said to denote an object, in a general man- 
ner, without expressly indicating a particular individual. The Greek 
indefinites have three shades of meaning, which in other languages 
are distinguished from each other. Thus 1. tc is either (1.) an uni- 
versal indefinite, i. gq. Lat. quisquam, Eng. any one; 1 Cor. 6:1. 
Rom. 5: 7 init. (2.) a particular indefinite, i. q. Lat. aliquis, Eng: 
some one; Acts 3:5. Rom. 5:7. fin. or (3.) a particular indefinite, so 
described, although definitely known, i. q. Lat. quidam, Eng. @ cer- 
tain one; Luke 8: 27,49. 12. zoré signifies either (1.) at any time, 
Lat. unguam, Eph. 5: 29. Heb. 1: 5, 13. (2.) at some time, Lat 
aliguando, Luke 22:32. or (3.) at acertain time, Lat. quondam, 
Eph. 2:.13.—The form of the Greek indefinites agrees with that of 
the interrogatives in every respect, except that the interrogatives 
have the accent nearer to the beginning of the word, and the indefi- 
nites nearer to the end. 
The VY. and VI. columns consist of negatives, which are formed 
directly from the indefinites in their first and leading import. The 
Y. column is formed by 0d, (Sansc. vi, vahis,) to express objective oF 
absolute negation, and the VI. column is formed by #7, (Sanse. ma,) to 
express subjective or conditional negation. I am not aware that this 
distinction exists in any other language. 
Rem. 5. There are other forms compounded of fj interrogatives 
which must not be confounded with these made up of 7 negative 5 
as sites, John 4: 33. piprore, John 7: 26. 
The VIL. column consists of relatives, a class of words which pet- 
form a very important office in connecting discourse. As they serve 
to subjoin one sentence to another which is previous, they have by 
some writers been properly called subjunctives. The relative ele- 
ment in Greek consists of an aspiration or rough breathing, which 
regard as a softening of the hard palatal in the interrogative class- 
In some other languages, as the Latin and the Teutonic, the inter- 
rogative and relative agree substantially in form, the principal differ 
ence being in the accent or intonation. That the interrogative 18
