I guess I should have made that clear--no scholarly sources, just
fellas making reference to different Greek words for "love". Granted
that "love" is both a noun and a verb, but to me it would make more
sense to list all noun forms or all verb forms, but for whatever
reason AGAPH is given, then FILEW... (instead of FILOS).
