::: I don't doubt your assertion that at the moment, the primary meaning of the English "peace" is as you say. However, I do question the recency of this semantic position, and also whether this was not the case with eirene. I'd assume that someone listening to Jesus would have understood the Aramaic term he used to have a hefty flavour of non-war about it (in general, if not necessarily in context). In the same way, a reader of the English would understand that "peace" has multiple shades of meaning, and will select as appropriate. [[User:DeniseM|DeniseM]] 07:29, 28 December 2008 (EST)

::: I am confused about your position on devolution of language - words alter their meanings in fairly well-characterized ways - becoming more general or more specific, various kinds of metonymy, and so on. [[User:DeniseM|DeniseM]] 07:35, 28 December 2008 (EST)
