within Logos it seems to default to "active"….whereas eimi has no voice and the option to select none is not there.
"Most standard Greek morphologies classify εἰμί as using active voice endings where voice is marked, though traditional school grammars often downplay or ignore “voice” for εἰμί because it is copular and intransitive. There is a strand of description in pedagogical and popular materials that effectively treats εἰμί as “voice-less” for practical purposes, but explicit claims that it has no voice at all are more informal positions than a formal category in major reference morphologies."
well, thats interesting.. I'm just in the middle… at koineguide.com is where the greek guru there said; "
That can be confusing for sure, but eimi technically doesn’t have voice. “None” is the right answer for the voice field for every instance of eimi! 8)" i challenged him due to what LOGOS show me. EVEN give screen shots..
Not a "greek guru" but a person who may know Greek extremely well but doesn't know their linguistics/grammar/syntax - but is sufficient gullible to have accepted what they were taught without asking if it were the majority position.

I own a rather extensive library of theology books in Kindle's EBOK format, including most of Dr. Mike Heiser's books that are available in Kindle format. It would be very helpful if I could import the EBOK format into my desktop Logos in addition to the docx format. Just a thought.
Hi! My husband will be starting as a first year seminary student at Concordia in St. Louis MO. I have been thinking about getting him a tablet to take to class and more on the go purposes vs his laptop. From what I’m reading is that logos can be a very powerful tool for students and pastors. I heard that he can get most of…
Banner pop-ups in Logos distract from my study. Can they be disabled, even if a paid feature? I understand that this is a product, but pop-ups disrupt my devotion time.
Hey Team, I love Logos and a I'm glad to be a subscriber, but please stop putting banner ads on the actual top bar of the product. They are seriously distracting and often knock me on a rabbit trail when I open the software to get work done. The most recent one would not dismiss even when I clicked the "x" edit: just found…
I'd like to suggest the inclusion of some sort of icon to denote different objections for events on the advanced timeline feature. For example, in the World History Timeline, Logos has two entries for late proposed dates for "The Council of Jamnia" (90AD or 100AD). While I do believe it is good to have these available on…
