Carl,

Yes, pardon the typo. Read "muw" for "meuw". I realize that Paul uses a
string of infinitives after the verb- but this raises the further question-
if you take "muw" in a figurative sense, then why do you not take the
following infinitives in the same sense? That is, why must Paul say, "I
have been initiated" in a figurative way, but then he lists a bunch of
things that some take as literals? Can we have it both ways? I realize,
too, that we do this in modern English- but does that mean that Paul did too?

Best,

Jim
