Virgil,

You should always pay very close attention to what Carl says. You will have
to pardon me if I find Carl's comments to be somewhat at odds with your
exegetical proposals in this post and previous posts on a somewhat related
topic.

Anyway, I am currently (in this thread) musing about the problem of trying
to define a semantic functional prototype for EK + genitive which could be
linked in some meaningful manner to EK CEIROS AUTHS in Rev 19:2c. I am a
little skeptical about any approach to semantics which implies that there is
a "central" or "core" semantic function which can be identified for a
constituent such as the pattern EK + genitive. The whole idea of "centers"
appears to be somewhat of a bugaboo in semantic theory. This is why I raised
the question. I am trying to "de-center" the center.

Beyond this I would still quite willing to talk about the genitive but Carl
seems to have covered that territory well. We don't need to thrash a dead
horse.

Greetings,

Clay
