     I am interested in researching further on the word "aleifw" to
discern if is likely that the use of this word in James 5:14 refers simply
to a symbolic or sacramental use of oil, or whether there may be a
medicinal effect of the oil insinuated.

    After reading BDAG and TDNT, i decided to see if their had been any
discussion of this on B-Greek in the past.  I turned up nothing in my
search, but since this is my first attempt to use the search engine, I'm
not confident I did things correctly.  Would someone be kind enough to
confirm whether "aleifw" has been discussed in the archives please.

Thank you for your help!
