I really think it's quite sufficient that ELEUQERIAN is accusative --  
the item to be dealt with; you can supply any appropriate verb that  
will take an accusative: LABE ("seize, grasp"), hAPTOU ("cling to,  
grasp at"), DEXAI ("accept"); the point is, "whatever you do with it,  
don't use it as a launch-pad for "flesh" to take off from.
