do
not know that CULON ZWHS can refer to a type of tree, or that CULON can be
generic as opposed to indicating a single "tree." I have not studied the
matter.

The idea of a river running through the WIDE street (PLATUS)of the city
seems likely to me. We can understand CULON in a generic way.
Then the idea of multiple trees on either bank of the river makes sense.
But foremost, if we put EN MESWi THS PLEITEIAS AUTHS to verse 1, then
we can respect the pattern that John often introduces a new idea by KAI,
as some indicated on this thread.
Anyway, this is my current thought.
