Valencia:
You asked:
---- >Is it correct that gnosis is the substitive for ginwskw? As in, >ginwskw is >the verb to know, and gnosis is the thing known. -----Yes. GNWSIS is a substantive, meaning "knowledge," or "that which is known." I suppose this would correspond to an active sense and passive sense.
You then asked:
---- Is there a substitive >for >the greek verb oida, like gnosis is for ginwskw? ----
OIDA comes from an old Greek root VID- ... from which we get "video." I believe the substantive for OIDA would be EIDOS. This word is found in the GNT meaning: appearance, that which strikes the eye.
Finally, you asked:
----- John never >used the substitive for ginwskw, is this correct? ----
I do not have a search engine. I am not aware of his using GNWSIS, but I can not speak to that.
