Everything you just asked me was already posted. Scroll back up and re-read my posts. The definitions are there, and so is the Greek words in Strongs Number form.

(I could ever get the Koine Greek to post! How did you do it?)

Posting in Strong's number form does not help anyone who does not have access to a Strong's Greek Dictionary. I do. However, you have never pointed out the lack of conformity in the Greek words as I have. Therefore, you have not "posted" everything I asked.

Also, Race, the only question I did not answer in post 100 were the two about "swarthing", a word that does not exist, and whether you meant "swathing", a word which does exist.

As to posting the Koine Greek, the method I use is the same that Strong's Greek Dictionary and and many other Biblical Greek sites on the web use. Since many people do not have a Greek font set installed on their computer (I do) they have provided the Greek in an Anglicized (using the English Alphabet) version. That can be just cut and pasted like regular English postings. Give it a try.

By the way, Koine Greek was a dialect of Classic Greek that developed as a trade language during the 2nd, 1st Centuries BC, and the 1st Century AD. It is not Classical Greek as it contains many foreign words and usages. It is sort of like English today... composed of many borrowed words and phrases from other languages.
