I'm beginning to wonder if this verb is similar to parakaleo in Greek, where
the "calling to one's side" is often used for the derivative purposes of
consoling, upbraiding, instructing, encouraging, etc. and the best way to
translate it is not for the primary action of calling aside, rather the
derivative meanings? So here the primary meaning refers to the action of
turning back, with the derivative understandings of turning back from
mourning (consolation), turning back from an action (repent), turning back
from approval (regret), and so forth?

Hi Karl,

Maybe some of your inventive lexicography has struck at the heart of Hebrew semantics. But I like the philosophy of the mainstream lexicons better, which shun imagining reductions that make perfect sense. It's the "imagining" I don't like. Sometimes even the "perfect sense" part is a little suspicious.

Regards,
Bryan
