How can you expect people to take you seriously if you can't even get the
attribution right? Those were _my_ words, not yours. So they should have had one
row of '>' characters in front of them. And in my post here, they would then
have two.

This is nonsense. First of all, I did NOT say "it was the same". I said it is
one language. That is not the same at all, not when we are talking about a
language with a 5000 year history.
Secondly, _real_ scholars do NOT rely solely on "the Greek of the time", because
our sources on that time are too sparse. Also because Greek has _always_ been a
highly conservative language, preserving old meanings and constructs for
hundreds of years after any other language would have dropped them.
