<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are some jurisdictions in the Slavic Orthodox
tradition that are adjusting the English translation of a certain prayer to the
Holy Spirit. The current phrase is "Everywhere present and fills all
things". The word in question is Fills changing to Fulfills. In
Church Slavonic the word is ISPOLNAJAJ, a participle with a root meaning
overflowing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason for the shift in translation is the
adjust the English to be more in line with the Greek which uses the verbal form
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>PLEROW (pi-lambda-eta-rho-omicron-omega).
The assertion is that this can mean either fill or fulfill depending on the
context.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I attempted to place this form in Perseus and it
came up blank. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Intermediate Liddell and Scott contains an entry
for PLEOS , H, ON<BR>Ion. for PLEWS full.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PLEWS, PLEA, PLEWN, full of a thing, infected
with..., of time full and complete.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I correct in assuming it is a form of
PLEWS?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone provide me with the form that PLEROW
is?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions on how context would have one take
this as fulfill? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the help.</FONT></DIV>
