<DIV><FONT size=2>Very interesting indeed! As a matter of fact, I went to
the Liddell-Scott-Jones on-line lexicon (if there's a better one, then
<U><STRONG>please let me know!!</STRONG></U>) at the address of

I find this extremely interesting about the word "stauros." Look at what I
found:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><B>stauros</B>, ho, <I>upright pale</I> or
<I>stake</I></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT size=2><B>staur-o</B>, (stauros) <I>fence with
pales</I></FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT size=2><B>staur-ikos</B>, , on, <I>of</I> or <I>by a cross</I>,
</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So I see two <EM><STRONG>possible</STRONG> </EM>meanings
here. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Did it mean two different things or did one meaning possibly
"evolve" after another?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do translators translate it "cross" every time or is there a
case where it is rendered "stake?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've also notice that "xylon" (<STRONG>xi; </STRONG>x is not
"ch"; I didn't know how to transliterate <STRONG>Xi </STRONG>since X and Z are
used) is used at Acts 5:30 (and other places) or at least the form XYLOU
is. Does XYLOU have a relation to stauros as far as meaning is
concerned?</FONT></DIV>
