Question 1

γε (γ᾽)

Answer 1

(enclitic particle) at least, at any rate (γ before a vowel) {γε calls attention to a single word or clause and restricts the applicability of the statement to that word or clause (e.g., την γ᾽ εἰρήνην ἒχομεν = “we have peach at any rate [even if nothing else]”; ὁ βίος καλὸς ἐπεί γε τὴν εἰρήνην ἒχομεν = “life is beautiful, at least when we have peace”). γε is generally put after the word that it emphasized (but between an article and its noun). If it affects a whole clause, it is put after the conjunction at the start of that clause. It often has an ironic nuance.}

Question 28

εἰμί, ἒσομαι

Answer 28

be, exist; (third=person. Sg. + acc. & infin.) it is possible (to) { The third-person singular of εἰμί (in any tense) may show possibility. If so, the subject is usually an Inf., and the person for whom the action is/was/will be possible appears in the accusative case; e.g., οὐκ ἦν τὴν κόρην φεύγειν = “it was not possible for the girl to escape” or “the girl could not escape.” The Pres. third-person singular ἐστί(ν) sometimes stops behaving like an enclitic and, for greater emphasis, takes an acute accent on its penult: ἒστι(ν). This happens whenever it is the first word in a sentence, when it means “there exits” or “it is possible,” and when it is preceded by ἀλλ᾽, καί, μή, or ούκ; e.g., οὐκ ἒστιν.}
