Thank you.

The KJV translators did not, as Volgadon points out, work thru intermediary languages. They may not, however, have had the best manuscripts, and they may not have had the best understanding of the languages in which they were working.

If you want to continue this, what say you start another thread? I.e. what is it that strikes you as "shaky ground?" If you mean, did the KJV crew know a dulcimer from a dipstick, then I think we are actually making the same point.

I'd really like to get back to Uncle J.'s question. Is anybody out there still interested in it? I am. :)
