Dear George,

Your question regarding PARRHSI/A| could produce an interesting rendering in 
Mark 8:32: "He was speaking the word with every saying."  However, PARRHSI/A| 
would be clearer as "openly" or "frankly."  While something rhetorically could 
be done by contecting PARRHSI/A| with R(H=MA (9:32), PARRHSI/A illustrates the 
adage:  "Etymology does not determine a word's meaning, usage in context does." 
Basically, etymology is best used to show how words derived certain meanings, 
and possibly to show connections between various expressions.

As regarding TO\ PA=N TO\ R(H=MA, maybe someone with access to the TLG CD-ROM 
could search for its possible (probable) usage in Greek literature.
