I know the root of ECW is supposed to be SEC,
but in the New Testament alone this word shows up
as εχ, (ανεχω) εκ, (ανεκτος) ἑξ, (ἑξις) σχε, (σχεδον)
σχη, (σχημα) ισχ, (ισχυω) οχ, (ενοχος) ουχ, (ευνουχος)
and ωχ (συνευωχεομαι.) What’s the point of having a root
if you are allowed to take any form you want? What, I’d
like to know, does this verb have to hide, that it so
polymorphically conceals itself like some lexigraphical Proteus?
Sorry, but I had to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening.
Transliteration is below.
EC, (ANECW) EK, (ANEKTOS) hEX, (hEXIS) SCE (SCEDON)
SCH, (SCHMA) ISC, (ISCUW) OC (ENOCOS) OUC (EUNOUCOS)
and WC (SUNEUWCEOMAI.)
