Ben,
Another interesting point, as you may well know, is that in Greek relative
clauses sometimes precede their antecedents!! Note as one example Mt 13:12:
"OSTIS GAR ECEI, DOQHSETAI AUTW. . ." Or the short form of this relative pronoun
found in Mk 4:25: "OS GAR ECEI, DOQHSETAI AUTW. . ." Ostis/Autw and Os/autw
