Shelmerdine Chapter 293. Adverbs Adverbs in Greek derive from case forms of nouns. In some cases, their origin as a case was completely forgotten.

Shelmerdine Chapter 294. The interrogative pronoun/adjective This chapter introduces the interrogative pronoun in Greek. This pronoun serves the function of who? what? which? whose? and whom? in English. Who is speaking? What are they saying? Which (or what) horse do you like? Whose horse is that? To whom are you speaking?

Shelmerdine Chapter 294. The interrogative pronoun/adjective The interrogative pronoun has the stem and uses third declension endings. It ALWAYS bears an acute accent on its first syllable. Even single-syllable forms never change their accent to a grave as other words normally do. ; Who is speaking?

Shelmerdine Chapter 295. The indefinite pronoun/adjective This chapter introduces the indefinite pronoun/adjective in Greek. The indefinite forms look exactly like the interrogative forms, except the indefinite forms are all enclitic (and thus normally have no accent), while the interrogative forms must bear an acute accent.

Shelmerdine Chapter 295. The indefinite pronoun/adjective follows a word it modifies, usually immediately after it as an enclitic suffix. ; Who is speaking? ; What Athenian is speaking? . Some Athenian is speaking.

Shelmerdine Chapter 295. The indefinite pronoun/adjective , as an enclitic, can never begin a clause: ; Who is speaking? . The Athenian is speaking. . Some Athenian is speaking. . Someone is speaking.
