The only egs. I can think of here is the use of PROS + accusative. Compare
EIPAN AUTWi in Jn 1.25 and LEGEI hH MHTHR TOU IHSOU PROS AUTON. I can see
no difference in function between them. I will have to run some searches to
deal with the other questions, but I do not see anything to be gained in
teaching new students by eliminating the category of dative used as
indirect object.
