<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are some jurisdictions in the Slavic Orthodox
tradition that are adjusting the English translation of a certain prayer to the
Holy Spirit.&nbsp; The current phrase is "Everywhere present and fills all
things".&nbsp; The word in question is Fills changing to Fulfills.&nbsp; In
Church Slavonic the word is ISPOLNAJAJ, a participle with a root meaning
overflowing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason for the shift in translation is the
adjust the English to be more in line with the Greek which uses the verbal form
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>PLEROW (pi-lambda-eta-rho-omicron-omega).&nbsp;
The assertion is that this can mean either fill or fulfill depending on the
context.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I attempted to place this form in Perseus and it
came up blank.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Intermediate Liddell and Scott contains an entry
for PLEOS , H, ON<BR>Ion. for PLEWS full.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PLEWS, PLEA, PLEWN,&nbsp; full of a thing, infected
with..., of time full and complete.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I correct in assuming it is a form of
PLEWS?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone provide me with the form that PLEROW
is?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions on how context would have one take
this as fulfill? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the help.</FONT></DIV>
