I have a question for the list: in Heb 5:12 there is 'which {FI}be{Fi}'
... /what/ is _which_ supposed to be marked with?
If I understand your question, you need to tag the word "which" in the following phrase:
_ye_have_need_that_one_teach_you_again_*which*_{FI}be{Fi}_the_first_principles_of_the_oracles_of_God
Coming from the Greek phrase:
PALIN KREIAN EXETE TOU DIDASKEIN hUMAS TINA TA STOIXEIA THS ARXHS TWN LOGIWN THEOU
παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υµας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του θεου
I believe that TINA satisfies your requirement. Let me know if this helps.
