While on the subject of solecisms, how do you all like
εἷς καθ' εἷς
EIS KAQ' EIS ?

It seems intentional enough with the correct dropping of
the vowel in KATA, plus the correct Q θ before the word
EIS 'one'.

Proper Greek would say KAQ' ENA καθ΄ ενα,
though I can readily understand KAQ EIS as a
sub-standard dialect nominalization that even rhymes
with a Hebrew "ish ish".
