Hey, we had a box of books get lost in our shipments, and I haven't had
the opportunity to replace them yet!  And I got lazy.  I had LOGOS open,
and KJV-Strong's is the easiest way to search for the translation of
Greek words in that tool.

Anyway, you answered all except the real focus of my question.  (All
right, I didn't spell it out this way!)  My national translator is
suggesting translating both APATAW and PLANAW the same way.  They never
occur together in the same passage, but I wanted to make sure that we
weren't missing a distinction here that I haven't been able to see in
the lexicons I do have a hand.

Thanks for the help.
