There is a variant listing for Luke 1:27of MEMNHSTEUMENHN. BDF 68 says
the form EMNHSTEUMENHN is better but it doesn't say why. In general,
before a consonant, I would expect the consonant to be duplicated in the
perfect. Why is the form which begins with EM rather than MEM better?
Please send responses to me privately as I am not a list subscriber.
Thanks.
