[angelopoulos-2026]-specific apparatus — the [n]-feature/light-noun selection (§3.1), the content/situation typing, the attested selection classes, and the stativity generalizations — lives in Studies/Angelopoulos2026.lean as projections over these entries.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.oti : Complementizer

oti — indicative declarative complementizer ([christidis-1982], [roussou-2010]); selected by verbs of saying / belief / knowledge. Factivity of oti-clauses tracks the matrix verb (kséro vs léo), so no lexical factive value is recorded.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.pu : Complementizer

pu — factive complementizer ([christidis-1982], [roussou-2019]); selected by emotive factives, and by perception/memory verbs on direct-perception readings ([angelopoulos-2026] fn. 16). Doubles as adverbial / relative / interrogative where ([angelopoulos-2026] unifies the uses via a PLACE noun); the entry records the complement use.

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.an : Complementizer

an — interrogative complementizer 'if' ([roussou-2010]); types embedded polar questions over indicative-inflected clauses, both selected (anarotjéme 'wonder') and, under matrix negation or question, unselected (dhen kséro an 'I don't know if').

Equations

• Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.an = { morphs := [Morphology.Morph.free "an"], coding := some Complement.Coding.indicative, types := Clause.Selection.only Clause.SentenceType.polar }

def Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.na : Complementizer

na — subjunctive ([grano-2024]), selected by volitional, intention and causative verbs (Verbs.lean). Whether na heads C or a Mood projection is debated; the schema is head-agnostic, and [angelopoulos-2026] sets na aside.

Equations

• Greek.StandardModern.Complementizers.na = { morphs := [Morphology.Morph.free "na"], coding := some Complement.Coding.subjunctive }
