Yes, A Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek, R.W. Funk

I'm not sure, I got my workbook with the first edition. It's Workbook for
A Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek IV, Lane C. McGaughy
>2. How does this relate to Funk's work with Blass/Debrunner?
Very different. All except Vol II focuses primarily on Morphology and even
the Syntax of Vol. II is organized differently than B-D. I find Funk much
easier to use.
>3. Any more specific impressions you might share?
Thorough, excellent for teachers who want to have answers to students
questions and their own questions.
