Forgive the Greek there, I know you want to burn it heatmeister, heh, was something I downloaded quick and stored away. By the way, the more I looked at Lamsa's book on them, the more I don't like his protrayal of them. However good he was in other things, his understanding on them is out there in right field, so can't say I would recommend his book or trust his understanding of them. My 2 cents there bro.
Also, be careful of these here. I would sort through and see if they truely make sense. Some I can see that do and some seem far fetched.

Thanks heaps, and yeah, Lamsa was known to invent idioms...
What do you mean you downloaded them? Where is this hidden treasure trove of examples?
- Dave - 11-02-2003
