This is _very bad_ etymology
If you check with even the 'middle' edition of LIddell and Scott, you will
find that the root of:
FRASSW is FRAG (hence the future, and derived tenses will have G + S -> C [
see below ] )
but the root of FRAZW is FRAD , with the future= FRASW
You also say:
>The 13:36 reference is disputed ext (some have DIASAFHSON -)
Could I point out that BOTH the UBS3 and the N/A 27 have the DIA......
reading, as the text; UBS3 dispenses with any variant, whereas N/E 27 lists
it.
Even more importantly, the variant is spelt with ONE sigma which is the
1st. aorist of FRAZW
The aorist of FRASSW is EFRACA ( where C = letter ksi )
So, no matter which reading is taken, to find " to fence" is just bad
grammar.
