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.
