As always, Carl is a fount of information—you would look long and hard before
finding the -EWS as one syllable explanation in any text. And Clay already
mentioned Don Carson's book. I agree that this is a great source, if you wish to do
such a study, though I disagree with Clay's evaluation on the relative value in such
a study :) Of course, Carson's book may be a bit longer and involved than you
like. If you want a *much* shorter and greatly simplified account of accentuation
rules, see pages 13-14 of _Grammatical Aids for Students of NT Greek_ (Walter
Mueller, pub. by Eerdmans, 1972, ISBN: 0-8028-1447-6)
