In the margin of Codex Bezae (D) is the Greek word ANNAGHOSMA
(recurs repeatedly and can be seen easily in John). My thinking is
that this is from ANHGEOMAI (L/S = to tell as a narrative, relate,
recount) and it is an aid for the reader who is using the Codex in a
liturgical setting for lectionary readings.  Can someone on the list
help confirm the Greek background of this word or offer a better idea
of the origin of the word?  Thanks.

If this were related to ANHGEOMAI, you would expect an H where you  
have the second A. I can't find this as one word. But, perhaps it is  
a form of ANAGHi OSMAi (Lead out, make preparation [from ANAGW] with  
inscense)? Or perhaps ANAGHi, OSMAi (make preparation [from ANAGW],  
explain, OSMAOMAI).

What do the rest of you think? I am stumped by the double NN, unless  
it is a mispelling.
