Wasn't sure if this should go here or the composition board (this is hardly a composition!). Anyway, instead of sleeping I am trying to construct a simple phrase, using superlative, particles, and omitting the 'to be' verb and not sure if I have understood things right.
For the adjectives, do I have the predicate position correct, or would I be better adding extra articles, and have I formed the superlative forms properly, or, as I suspect, have I picked the wrong stem from the dictionary? Are there verbs/participles that might look more elegantly greek?
ἡ μὲν νῦξ σκοτεινοτάτη,
οἱ δ' ἀστρὲς φωτεινότατοι.
If what I am trying to say is not clear, then that would be just embaressing, and I will clearly need to review 'Attic Greek for Dummies'.
Thanks,
A
