> Has anybody a list of words that occur in the NT only and nowhere else in
the literature of that time? I have read that these are about 400 words? Is
there such a list or can someone compile one?
An interesting question, Wieland! I'd like to see a source for the answer to
your question.
A related question, how many hAPAX LEGOMENA occur in the NT is easier for me
to answer. According to Trenchard [Complete Vocabulary Guide to Greek NT]
there are about 1950.
There are about 830 words which occur twice and another 460 words occur 3
times or more.
According to my BibleWorks word frequency generator there are 5397 different
words in the NT. So, unfortunately more than half of the words in the NT
occur 3 times or less!
