I think this is not quite correct, but close. Luke
actually clarifies his use of KATALUMA with ANAGAION
in 22:12. Which would by definition be: "anything
raised from the ground; the upper floor of a house."
I don't know what you're doing here.  What has the KATALUMA in Lk 22 have to 
do with the KATALUMA in Lk 2 other than being designated by the same term?  To 
assume that ANAGAION refers to the KATALUMA in Lk 2 is really a stretch.
