#John15Thirteen (the #NoGreaterLove-verse) ... No Greater Love #Than? #ChapterByChapter #VerseByVerse #BibleStudy (possibly #WordByWord)
I discuss 'what brought this Scripture-passage up' in a paying discussion you
can join FOR FREE through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I
want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if
you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those
words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc.
ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Than” (as I'm pretty-sure I've 'done' all the "important" words already ... oop ...) is built on ancient words that mean "Then" (with 'A is bigger than B' evolving from 'A is bigger, then B') or -on "When, When As" (as in ancient words that mean "When as B is big, A is more so").
#LessThan #GreaterThan, and oop; I'm seeing there's also "the 's, the s' (or #apostropheS & #sApostrophe
... #Apostrophe?)
The word “Apostrophe” (the name of the little mark before- or after the "S" in possessives ... it is actually "a mark indicating an omitted letter" (common when one combines words in a contraction), and 'the possessive ending' used to be "-es") is built on ancient words that mean "to Turn Off, -Away from (|Avert)" (it's also the term for 'when an orator turns aside to privately address an individual in the course of a speech').
