Hello Eddie,

I am curious as to what you mean by the FULL meaning of the word in a  
translation.  Do you simply want something like an Amplified Bible?   
I have always understood that the full meaning of a word is simply  
what it means in a given context.  Typically this is limited to only  
one meaning based upon the context, rather than a range of meaning(s).

Warmest Regards,

-Matt
