 It seems I must be a more careful editor next time!  :>0

The word PARAKLHSIS seems that it might be from the same root as paraclete.  
Would I be correct in that assumption?  I thought the word used there for 
"preaching" might have been DIALOGAMEN, intimating a give-and-take in dialogue -- 
a more conversational type of discourse -- rather than a public address.

Thank you for your help, and thank you for the welcome!
