Perhaps that is so in Polish, but not in Greek.  My statement stands.

George,
 
No, suprisingly, the reference is definitely to TINAS. Polish is my motehr 
tongue, so I think I understand it quite well (much better than English:)
About PANTWS he writes something else (that it means all ways, all means) and he 
omits the word in his translation.
