2)  What are the oblique cases?
 

3) Often a vocative noun has an omega in front of it, which is sometimes (although not very correctly) translated as "Oh."
What does the vocative without this omega express?
 

4) How many surd consonants does Greek have?
 

5) Where did I teach before I taught at Harvard?
 

6)  I was the second Sather lecturer.  What are the Sather lectures?
