Yes, and it seems to me that the GAR is frequently used to add a
parenthetical comment, as in the celebrated ending of Mark (16:8) KAI
OUDENI OUDEN EIPAN; EFOBOUNTO GAR.
to add a rhetorical question:
1 Cor 2:10 ... TO GAR PNEUMA PANTA ERAUNA, KAI TA BAQH TOU QEOU; 11 TIS GAR
OIDEN ANQRWPWN TA TOU ANQRWPOU EI MH TO PNEUMA TOU ANQRWPOU TO EN AUTOU?

ANAKRINETAI. 16 TIS GAR EGNW NOUN KURIOU, hOS SUMBIBASEI AUTON?
