Ron, George,
After my earlier message about this use of EK, I found an instance of the
Hebrew verb gabar (to be victorious) with min (litt. "from", here "over") in
Ps 65: 4 ("Sins overwhelmed us"). I did not write a new message, because I
thought the sense of gabar was not straightly "to be victorious".
Now I see from the message by George that others think of min as the origin
of the use of EK. Therefore this addition.
