["George Athas" <gathas AT hotkey.net.au>]

The Greek lexicon in question has in past editions been known as BAGD
(Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker). However, the latest edition is definitely
known as BDAG (Bauer-Danker-Arndt-Gingrich), affectionately pronounced
as "Be Dag". Evidently Danker has moved up in the world.
