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'd love to see Logos build an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so users can connect their Logos library directly to AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and others. Right now, Logos and AI assistants are completely siloed. An MCP integration would let me query my commentaries, lexicons, and original language resources from…
As a pastor, nothing is more important to me than sermon preparation. Being able to write and edit text on my phone would save time and greatly improve my focus.

Logos Development Team, I am a long‑term Logos user and recently subscribed specifically to gain access to the Study Assistant. Overall, I have been very impressed with the tool. However, I immediately noticed that the inquiry text box has a very restrictive character limit. As a real‑world example, I completed the first…
