So semantics as uncancellable meaning is invalid as a principal within a 
dialect, but not so within a "standard language"? This is entirely 
arbitrary. To be convincing, you to demonstrate why this is a 
limitation, not just state it.

So is the language of the Bible "standard" or a "dialect"?

I'm sorry, Karl. But it is you who is not dealing with actual language 
evidence which contradicts your position which I raised regarding Lyélé 
and Udihe.
