Remember, that's why we can't use Greek (and Hebrew) character fonts. And a
request
for translation has been considered to be well in line in the past.

Jonathan, where are you? Here's another chance for you to practice your
German. If
you don't keep using it, you might lose it!

Hi, this is Juerg (native germanspeaking), trying to help out in
translating:

"Der 'zweit-erste' Sabbat (Gegensatz: 'zweit-letzter' Sabbat) bedeutt einen Sabat, der der zweite ist in einer Reihe von Sabbaten, deren Zaehlung vom ersten Sabbat an beginnt. Schon diese Wortbedeutung von 'deuteroprwtos' verbietet, in Lk 6,1 an den 1. Sabbat nach dem 2. Passahtag... zu denken."

The 'second-first" sabbat (contrast: 'second-last' sabbat) means a sabbat, which is the second in a row of sabbats, starting to count them with the first sabbat. It is this meaning of "deuteroprwtos" alone which makes it impossible to think of the 1st sabbat after the 2nd peshach-day in Lk 6:1

"In Uebereinstimmung mit Vorstehenden uebersetzt Delitzsch,... 'en sabbatw deuteroprwtw' mit : 'beshabath hashinith lesiphiroth ha'amar'"

In agreement with what was written above Delitzsch is translating ... ''en sabbatw deuteroprwtw' with : 'beshabath hashinith lesiphiroth ha'amar'"

I hope this helps for the spanic speaking too...
