Thanks Cheryl for this information @#82,83 regarding whether the object of “a man” would modify just “authentein” or also “to teach”. I have heard both points of view from “experts”. Moo in RBMW p186 agrees with you, that it relates to both verbs. But in the footnote p497 he says Payne disagrees. I have heard/read someone else also (can’t remember who) say that “a man” only relates to “authentein” and not “teach’. I had concluded that it is probably not possible to be conclusive from the text itself which one it is. I will take your information into account in my thinking. I noticed you said “typically has object or indirect object” – does a verb have to have an object? If I say “I do not permit a girl to run or throw a ball”, “run” doesn’t have to have an object.
