1How many letters does the classical Ionic-Attic Greek alphabet contain?
A.24
B.22
C.26
D.27
Explanation: The classical Ionic-Attic alphabet, officially adopted at Athens in 403/402 BC, has 24 letters, running from ἄλφα (Α α) to ὦ μέγα (Ω ω). Learning it in Laut und Schrift (majuscule and minuscule) is the first requirement of the Sachsen-Anhalt Fachlehrplan Griechisch.
2What does the spiritus asper (rough breathing) over the initial vowel of ἡμέρα indicate?
A.An [h] sound is pronounced before the vowel
B.The vowel is long
C.The word carries the accent on that syllable
D.The vowel is elided before a following word
Explanation: The spiritus asper (῾) marks an initial aspiration, i.e. an [h] pronounced before the vowel: ἡμέρα = 'hēmera' (day). Its counterpart, the spiritus lenis (᾿), marks the absence of that aspiration, as in ἀνήρ. Every word-initial vowel and every initial ρ must carry one of the two breathings.
3In the dative singular form τῇ χώρᾳ, what is the small iota written beneath the final vowel called, and what is its function?
A.Iota subscriptum — it is the remnant of an old long diphthong and marks the dative singular of the a- and o-declensions
B.Iota adscriptum — it is a purely decorative scribal flourish with no grammatical value
C.Iota subscriptum — it marks the vocative case in feminine nouns
D.Iota subscriptum — it indicates that the preceding vowel is short
Explanation: The iota subscriptum (ᾳ, ῃ, ῳ) is the written survival of a long diphthong (ᾱι, ηι, ωι) that ceased to be pronounced as a diphthong in the classical period. It is grammatically decisive: it is the regular mark of the dative singular in the a-declension (τῇ χώρᾳ), the o-declension (τῷ λόγῳ) and the feminine article τῇ.
4Why is the accent of ἄνθρωπος an acute on the antepenultimate syllable, whereas the genitive singular is written ἀνθρώπου?
A.An acute may stand on the antepenult only when the final syllable is short; the long ending -ου forces the accent forward onto the penult
B.The genitive always shifts its accent one syllable to the right in every Greek noun
C.The circumflex of the nominative is replaced by an acute in the oblique cases
D.Compound nouns lose their recessive accent in the genitive
Explanation: Greek accentuation obeys the law of limitation: the acute can stand on the third syllable from the end only if the final syllable is short. In ἄνθρωπος the ending -ος is short, so ἄν- may be accented; in ἀνθρώπου the diphthong -ου is long, so the accent can go back no further than the penult, giving ἀνθρώπου.
5What is the genitive singular of ὁ λόγος (word, speech, reason)?
A.τοῦ λόγου
B.τοῦ λόγος
C.τῷ λόγῳ
D.τὸν λόγον
Explanation: λόγος is a masculine o-declension (second declension) noun: nom. ὁ λόγος, gen. τοῦ λόγου, dat. τῷ λόγῳ, acc. τὸν λόγον, voc. ὦ λόγε. The genitive singular ending of the o-declension is -ου, matched by the genitive of the article τοῦ.
6What is the nominative and accusative plural of the neuter noun τὸ δῶρον (gift)?
A.τὰ δῶρα for both nominative and accusative
B.οἱ δῶροι for the nominative, τοὺς δώρους for the accusative
C.τὰ δῶρα for the nominative, τὰς δώρας for the accusative
D.τὰ δώρων for both nominative and accusative
Explanation: In all Greek neuters the nominative, accusative and vocative are identical in each number, and the plural of these three cases always ends in -α. So τὸ δῶρον gives τὰ δῶρα for both nominative and accusative plural.
7What is the genitive singular of ὁ πολίτης (citizen)?
A.τοῦ πολίτου
B.τοῦ πολίτης
C.τῆς πολίτης
D.τοῦ πολίτος
Explanation: πολίτης is a masculine noun of the a-declension (first declension). Masculines of this class take the nominative in -ης, but borrow the genitive singular ending -ου from the o-declension: ὁ πολίτης, τοῦ πολίτου, τῷ πολίτῃ, τὸν πολίτην, ὦ πολῖτα.
8Which form is the genitive singular of ἡ γλῶττα (tongue, language)?
A.τῆς γλώττης
B.τῆς γλώττας
C.τοῦ γλώττου
D.τῇ γλώττῃ
Explanation: In the a-declension, a feminine whose nominative ends in -α after a consonant other than ε, ι or ρ has an 'alpha impurum': the α changes to η in the genitive and dative singular. Hence ἡ γλῶττα, τῆς γλώττης, τῇ γλώττῃ, τὴν γλῶτταν.
9The genitive singular of τὸ σῶμα (body) is τοῦ σώματος. What does this reveal about the noun's stem?
A.It is a third-declension neuter with a dental stem σωματ-, visible once the genitive ending -ος is removed
B.It is an o-declension neuter whose stem is σωμ-
C.It is an a-declension noun whose stem is σωματο-
D.It is a third-declension masculine with a stem in -ς
Explanation: Third-declension nouns must be learned from the genitive, because the nominative often obscures the stem. σῶμα, σώματος shows the stem σωματ- (a dental stem); the final -τ was lost in the bare nominative. From this stem come dat. sg. σώματι, nom./acc. pl. σώματα, gen. pl. σωμάτων and dat. pl. σώμασι(ν), where -τσ- simplified to -σ-.
10What is the genitive singular of ἡ πόλις (city, city-state)?
A.τῆς πόλεως
B.τῆς πόλιος
C.τῆς πόλης
D.τῆς πολίτου
Explanation: πόλις belongs to the third-declension i-stems, which in Attic show quantitative metathesis: the older *πόληος became πόλεως, with the quantities exchanged. Its full singular is ἡ πόλις, τῆς πόλεως, τῇ πόλει, τὴν πόλιν; plural αἱ πόλεις, τῶν πόλεων, ταῖς πόλεσι(ν), τὰς πόλεις.
