In context, owniym means "might" or "strength." To claim that it means
"dynamic energy" in order to match Einstein's theory is typical of some of
the liberties the NWT often takes. None of the seven translators of the NWT
had any training in Hebrew or Greek, and it seems many of the
interpretations are intended more for doctrinal purposes than accuracy.
