        Hi Jeffrey
        I am still working through your 80k thesis (thanks)
        but will chip in re your solution James 1:13

        Isn't it just that once context is established a
        second KAKWN is just assumed and therefore ommitted?
        Even without grammatical connection the field is
        already narrowed to the subject of evil:

        QEOS APEIRASTOS ESTIN KAKWN, PEIRAZEI DE (KAKWN) AUTOS OUDENA

        one could almost imagine James also writing

        QEOS PEIRASTOS ESTIN KALWN, PERAZEI DE (KALWN) TON AGAPETON SOU
        (not scriptural - just an example!)
        
        Goodnight
        Steven
