Help with Greek

Jan-29-2002 at 00:03 AM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

In connection with the Gawra/father discussion of Mattai 1:16, Could someone help me understand the difference between the two Greek words "Aner" and "Andra" and how they relate to the husband/man usage in Greek Mattai 1:16 & 19?

Thanks
-Dean

GNT Matt 1:16 reads 'ton andra Mariam'-"the husband of Mary". "Andra" is the accusative form of the the word 'Aner'.

GNT Matt 1:19 reads 'Ioseph de aner aute'-"but Yosef her husband...". Here 'aner' is in the nominative root form.

'Aner' is a word that can mean husband or man.
Not "man" in the generic sense as that is the job of the Greek word 'anthropos'. 'Aner' gives rise to the adjective 'andreas' from when our friend Andrew's name is formed. 'Andreas' meaning strong-manly.

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
