Wow! Thank you everyone. What a great group!

 1. south'n is a more advanced form of the english
    language because they differentiate between
    singular and plural in the 2nd person.

The word QLI/YEWN doesn't refer to Christ's vicarious satisfaction
in any way does it? hUPER is used of Christ's sufferings on behalf
of His people, but does this imply that there is some defiency? I
admit to a theological roadblock on this one... :-)
