I would love to see it, if it adds new information. I think I found a
hendiasys in English incidentally: how about "nice and cool" = "pleasantly
cool". Found that one on a web site for English usage, but I lost the URL.
Incidentally, hendiasys is not in the index of Porter's "Idioms of the Greek
New Testatament" either.
