Clayton,
Stylistic avoidance of monotony won't do it for me. Logicaly we have a
differnt situation in verse 16 than that in 18. In Verse. 16 TON ANDRA
SOU referse to a hypothetical husband in a normal relationship and uses
the usual expression with the article and the usual word order. Verse
18 addresses the real, abnormal, (ANOMOS) situation and the unusual
word order is used. I think there is something more than styilistic
going on here.
Thanks again!
