I think the this whole discussion started with Matt. 21:5, the quotation from 
Zechariah. I think we all agreed that in Zech. 9:9 that the prophet was 
speaking of one animal. However, such is foreign to the Evangalist's mind. In 
Vers 2 when he records Jesus sending the two to fetch the animal, it is 
clearly two, an ass that has been tied and a colt that was with her. Also the 
disciples are to say the Lord has need of them (AUTWN). In verse 7 they 
brought the ONON  and  the KWLON. They spread their garments on AUTWN and he 
sat on AUTWN. Two source people have always explained this as Matt. finding 
fulfillment even though his source or he misread Zechariah. That is beside 
the point. The fact is that in the writer's mind these are two animals and 
thus no hendiadys. It is not unusual for Matt. to have two where Mark has 
one, the man with a withered hand, blind Bartimaeus at Jericho, the demoniac 
by the sea. He likes pairs or perhaps two witnesses instead of one or perhaps 
something straight out of Scripture. The Greek here is clear and does not 
necessitate a discussion or how to translate a hendiadys.
