>It doesn't look like it. Have you checked a dictionary? BDAG gives as secondary sense, "acquire, come into possession of"--and cites quite an array of instances both Biblical and elsewhere in Greek. It's very similar to a classical Attic usage of KTAOMAI used with things one wouldn't ordinarily think of as "possessions" such as 'reputation,' 'blame,' 'praise.'

i looked up KLHRONOMEW on LSJ. though it's not the word KLHRONOMEW but the phrase "KEKLHRONOMHKEN ONOMA" that i am wondering about. this doesn't sound like a normal concept or way of speaking (i.e., to say someone inherits a name).
