There are some jurisdictions in the Slavic Orthodox tradition that are adjusting the English translation of a certain prayer to the Holy Spirit. The current phrase is "Everywhere present and fills all things". The word in question is Fills changing to Fulfills. In Church Slavonic the word is ISPOLNAJAJ, a participle with a root meaning overflowing.
The reason for the shift in translation is the adjust the English to be more in line with the Greek which uses the verbal form PLEROW (pi-lambda-eta-rho-omicron-omega). The assertion is that this can mean either fill or fulfill depending on the context.
I attempted to place this form in Perseus and it came up blank.
Intermediate Liddell and Scott contains an entry for PLEOS , H, ON
Ion. for PLEWS full.
PLEWS, PLEA, PLEWN, full of a thing, infected with..., of time full and complete.
Am I correct in assuming it is a form of PLEWS?
Can anyone provide me with the form that PLEROW is?
Any suggestions on how context would have one take this as fulfill?
Thanks for the help.
