Question 16

In what does the relative pronoun agree with its antecedent?

Answer 16

In gender and number, but not necessarily in case because it has its own function in a sentence.

Question 17

What happens when the relative pronoun does not have an antecedent in its preceding clause?

Answer 17

A personal pronoun is implied. You must supply the appropriate pronoun.

Question 18

What is an indefinite relative clause?

Answer 18

The relative pronoun that doesn’t have an antecedent, often occurs with ἄν or ἐάν followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood.

The pronoun will be translated as “whoever” or “whatever”.

(ex. ὅ ἐάν ᾖ δίκαιον, “Whatever is right.”)

It also happens with ὅσος ἄν or ὅσος ἐάν:

(ex. ὅσα ἐάν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, “whatever you loose upon the Earth.”)
