I have posted a new article at torahtimes:

Additional Considerations on μια των σαββατων.

I consider this article a massive break through in showing that the traditionalist position is based entirely on Church tradition and has no inherent support in Greek grammar or syntax.  I was afraid to make the argument in the past due to a few loose technical details.  Wheel and axel finally went together and now the paper flies:

 

Debunking the Gender Argument

and proving that Μια των Σαββατων

means "first of the Sabbaths"

 Abstract: I use the various phrases for "first day of unleavens" which is grammatically the same as "first of the sabbaths" to show that this should be the grammatical and syntactical normal sense.
