This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The first woe (hē ouai hē mia). Note feminine gender ascribed to the interjection ouai as in Rev 11:14, perhaps because thlipsis is feminine, though we really do not know. Note also the ordinal use of mia (one) like prōtē (first) as in Rev 6:1; Mar 16:2.
There come yet two Woes (erchetai eti duo Ouai). Singular number erchetai instead of erchontai, though duo ouai. It is true that ouai is an interjection and indeclinable, but it is here used with duo and is feminine just before, and not neuter.
