STRONGS G2444:
ἵνα τί [so L WH uniformly, also Tr except (by mistake?) in Matthew 27:46], and written unitedly ἱνατί [so Rec.st bez G T uniformly; see Winers Grammar § 5, 2]; Latin ut quid? i. e. for what purpose? wherefore? why? an elliptical formula, due to the fact that a questioner begins an answer to his own question with the word ἵνα, but not knowing how to complete it reverts again to the question, as if to ask what will complete the answer: that (what?) may or might happen (ut (quid?) fiat or fieret); see Herm. ad Vig., p. 847; Kühner § 587,5 ii., p. 1020; Winers Grammar § 25, 1 at the end; [Buttmann § 149, 2]: Matthew 9:4; Matthew 27:46; Luke 13:7; Acts 4:25; Acts 7:26; 1 Corinthians 10:29. Add, from the Sept., Genesis 4:6; Genesis 25:32; Genesis 27:46; Numbers 14:3; Numbers 22:32 [Ald.]; Judges 6:13 [Alex., Ald., Complutensian]; 1 Samuel 1:8; 2 Samuel 3:24; 2 Samuel 15:19; Job 3:12; Job 10:18; Jeremiah 2:29; Jeremiah 14:19; Jeremiah 15:18; Daniel 10:20 [Theodotion]; Psalm 2:1; Psalm 10:1 (Psalm 9:22); Psalm 21:2 (Psalm 22:2), etc.; Sir. 14:3; 1 Macc. 2:7.
