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.

Hi everyone I know everyone is excited about the Study Assistant feature, but removing the "Search Bible" via AI feature was really frustrating.

It would be helpful if e-mail about various stages of the Pre-Pub process had different subjects. Currently, all such messages have a subject in the form of "Your Pre-Pub Order from Logos.com" so it doesn't distinguish. How about e.g. "Thank you for your Pre-Pub order from Logos" "Your Pre-Pub Order has been Cancelled"…
Hello Logos Support Team, I'd like to request that the verse memorization tool currently available in Logos desktop be added to the mobile app. This feature would be incredibly valuable on mobile since it would allow me to practice and review Scripture memory while I'm on the go - during commutes, waiting in line, or any…
Hi, I was directed to submit a BUG by your 'Chat' feature. I hope it's the right place to address my issue. Both BECNT and WBC commentary series have off-norm 'link set' link behaviour. For example, BECNT James (McCartney, D. G. (2009). James. Baker Academic) accurately points to the commentary in 'Exegesis and Exposition'…
Would it be possible to change the Bible translation heading from (AMP (2015)) to (AMP 2015)? The extra parantheses in the original heading looks cluttered.
