Filloi,
While reading in 1 John last night I cam across EAN in 1 John 2:28 which
the NIV translates as "when". I was confused by this because EAN is made
up of EI + AN and AN makes a definite statement contingent, yet the
context and translation as "when" seems to indicate certainty...
I checked Louw & Nida and BAGD and sure enough "when" is given as a
possible meaning. But this goes against the indefiniteness introduced by
AN (EAN).
Am I missing something here? I don't understand.
cheers,

Some people are so narrow-minded,
they can see through a key hole with both eyes
Others are so open-minded
their brain has fallen out.
