Is a female prophet still 'ο προφήτης' , as here? I thought elsewhere on Duo gave a different answer, although I can´t now recall where or what it was, alas.

Indeed, that´s what I recalled; but the sentence given here has the male form followed by a female possessive - which presumably is therefore incorrect - ?

Aha! I now understand the problem I had. I thought that ´her´ referred to ´the prophet´. But I see it can actually refer to some otherwise unidentified female, whose religion includes this male prophet. Thank you!
