Hi Al,

I appreciate the clarity you bring to this question, and your answer to John's original question.

One note caught my eye:

> Since in Greek-Isaiah both EIRHNH and XARA are used as 
> glosses for ShaLOM, either was an option in 48:12.

It remains notable that SHALOM is Greeked as EIRHNH 23 times, and by XARA only once (55:12). The only other gloss for SHALOM in Greek-Isaiah is the infinitive XAIREIN under discussion (in 48:22 and 57:21).
