I do not always remember to hit the "Like" button, but I do love every single video. I can say this without reservation: I have used several KZbin Greek teaching channels and also for Spanish, and Hebrew,but THIS channel AND the Hebrew Aleph with Beth are the very best language teaching channels that I have ever found. Thank you so much! God bless you Angella!

Thank you for the great lesson! I like how you sometimes present the sound of a word before displaying its written form - it keeps the viewer engaged.

First instance of Grassmann's law. Why doesn't it apply to θριψ?

[@AlphawithAngela]

Sorry Pierre, I don't have time to answer these kind of questions. It is too time consuming and also not something my students need to worry about at this point. Here is the best I can offer for right now. Grassmann’s Law was a sound change in the Classical period (or before?), and it only involved aspirated consonants, not affricates like ψ. It changed forms like *tʰrikʰ+es to (Classical) /trikʰ+es/ (which became Koine /trix+es/), dropping the aspiration from a consonant if the following consonant was also aspirated. It would have been just an allophonic rule (/tʰrikʰ+es/ ® [trikʰes]), if there hadn’t been a phonemic contrast between tʰ and t, but since there was a phonemic contrast, we can say it changed the underlying form of that word form (or at least neutralized the contrast in that environment). How to state it depends on which phonological theory you’re using. However, the suffix -s in /tʰrikʰ+s/ changed /kʰ/ to /k/ before Grassmann’s Law could apply, and since there was no longer a sequence of two aspirated consonants, Grassmann’s Law had no effect. So the preceding *tʰ remained /tʰ/ in Classical Greek, which then became /θ/ in Koine.
