Hello b-greekers

the last time this came up I asked if anyone had seen a
reliable study on the comparative incidence of wordgames
(ie puns like John 15:2) in the recorded words of Christ
as recorded in Greek vs a hypothetical Aramaic.

I've only browsed one of Lamsa's books once but didn't see
anything that seemed more than the natural "incidence of
coincidence" ... have I missed the good stuff?

surely someone has done comparative research on this?

Cheers
Steven
