I have a question about XRWMEQA in 2 Cor. 3:12.
It seems legitimate to take the verb as a hortitory subjunctive.
However, if verse 13 is an aposiopesis as BDF Para 482 suggests, then
there is an assumed EIMI with the negative ou. Here is my problem,
it seems that the parallel between these two verbs is too strong to
take one as subjunctive and the other as indicative. However, the ou
would seem to argue against the assumed form of eimi being in the
subjunctive. Does this rule out the horitory subjunctive forXRWMEQA?
Is it possible that in an ellipses like this that the distinction
between ou and mh as it relates to the moods does not follow
consistently? I would be glad for any references in grammars which
you have found that deal with this type of thing.
Thanks,
