:::::August, here as in other discussions on translation, you adhere to an overly literal and narrow view of the Greek, without fully considering the context, the physics, and ordinary literary tools of abstraction.  For example, if you were translating a Greek equivalent of the phrase "a wake-up call," would you insist that could only mean that someone was awoken from sleep by an actual call?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 19:04, 10 March 2016 (EST)
