least!!  It is so much more, as the OT and NT both attest.  Any
attempt to 'encompass' this word's denotation in any language will
fail.  The text of John is but an introduction to it...  An awesome
introduction...

The best word I have been able to come up with to translate hO LOGOS
is Logos!!

I would add that John is a Jew writing in Greek, and that both sides
of the meaning of LOGOS will be properly kept in mind in any approach
to its understanding.  And I agree with you that narrowing one's
understanding to any single thread of derivation of its meaning will
lose the meaning of the word in John...
