Thanks for pointing this out! Luckily, BDR seems to have the same section number
for this, so I was able to look it up (do BDR and BDF always have the same
numbering?).

I have seen a lot of examples of equivalence posted here, especially for
particibles. Does this come from a transformational approach to NT Greek
grammar? It would be really helpful for me to see lots of these kinds of
equivalences. (Of course, if I keep asking questions like this, I probably
will!)
