adjective complement

subjunctive
Meaning

Not only nouns and adjectives but also complete subordinate clauses can stand with adjectives as complements. An example of this is μή + subjunctive (without ἄν) with adjectives that are etymologically or semantically related to verbs of 'fearing'.

Example Sentences: 

οὐθὲν γὰρ φοβερὸν μή ποτε συμφωνήσωσιν οἱ πλούσιοι τοῖς πένησιν ἐπὶ τούτους

Because there is no danger that the rich will ever collaborate with the poor against those people (= the middle class).

Aristot. Pol. 1297a
