ἄν [G:Part]
if
ἄν,
conditional particle,
which cannot usually be separately translated in English, its force depending on the constructions which contain it (see further, LS, see word; WM, §xlii; M, Pr., 165 ff.; MM, VGT, see word).
__1. In apodosis,
__(i) with indic, impf. or aor., expressing what would be or would have been if (εἰ with impf., aor. or plpf.) some condition were or had been fulfilled: Refs [Luk 7:39 17:6, Jhn 5:46, Gal 1:10, Mat 12:7 24:43, 1Co 2:8, Act 18:14], 1Jo.2:19, al. The protasis is sometimes understood (as also in cl.): Refs [Mat 25:27, Luk 19:23]. In hypothetical sentences, expressing unreality, ἄν (as often in late writers, more rarely in cl.) is omitted: Refs [Jhn 8:39 15:24 19:11, Rom 7:7, Gal 4:15];
__(ii) with opt., inf., ptcp. (cl.; see LS, see word; M, Int., §275; M, Pr., 167:4).
__2. In combination with conditional, relative, temporal, and final words;
__(i) as in cl., with subj.,
__(a) in protasis with εἰ, in Attic contr. ἐάν, which see;
__(b) in conditional, relative, and temporal clauses (coalescing with ὅτε, ἐπεί, etc.; see: ὅταν, ἐπάν, etc.), ever, soever;
__(α) with pres., ἡνίκα, 2Co 3:15; ὃς ἄν, Rom 9:15 (LXX) 16:2, al.; ὅσοι ἄν, Luk 9:5; ὡς ἄν, Rom 15:24 (M, Pr., 167);
__(β) with aor., ὃς ἄν, Refs [Mat 5:21, 22, 31]; ἕως ἄν, until, Refs [Mat 2:13, Mrk 6:10, al.]; ὡς ἄν, as soon as (M, Pr., 167), Refs [1Co 11:34, Php 2:23]. On the freq. use of ἐάν for ἄν with the foregoing words, see: ἐάν;
__(ii) in late Gk., when some actual fact is spoken of, with indic.: ὅταν (which see); ὅπου ἄν, Mrk 6:56 (M, Pr., 168); καθότι ἄν, Refs [Act 2:45 4:35]; ὡς ἄν, 1Co 12:2.
__3. in iterative construction, with impf. and aor. indic. (M, Pr., 167): Refs [Act 2:45 4:35, 1Co 12:2].
__4. with optative, giving a potential sense to a question or wish: Refs [Act 8:31 26:29].
__5. Elliptical constructions: εἰ μή τι ἄν (M, Pr., 169), 1Co 7:5; ὡς ἄν, with inf., as it were (op. cit. 167), 2Co 10:9.
