Tense and Mood Statistics




As promised, here are the counts for all the tenses and moods in the 
Greek New Testament. The counts are based on CCAT's MorphGNT and will 
appear in my short booklet _Greek New Testament Statistics_ that I will 
eventually get around to finishing.

No specially software was used, just awk, sort, uniq and a couple of 
routines I whipped up in C.
