<DIV><SPAN class=019572800-23121999><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>The
verb ARXW means "rule, reign".  The noun ARXWN means "ruler,
prince, leader".  The noun ARXITRIKLINOS means "superintendent of a
dining room".  In fact, in the plural the noun ARXH can mean "magistrates,
rulers".  </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=019572800-23121999><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>I
think the prefix is better expressed "ARX-", and I also am reasonably certain
that the *first* sense of this prefix is "primary, ranking, ruling", and
only secondarily "earliest in time", and even then that latter sense seems at
least in the NT and the LXX to be limited to the noun ARXH and the adjective
ARXAIOS.  Furthermore, I would suggest that ARXAIOS actually comes
from ARX- and AION, in which case the sense of "time" is actually supplied
almost exclusively by the root and not the prefix!  </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

not ARXH as such, but ARX, yes, a fair number, and more still in the LXX, all
with the meaning "ranking, ruling, primary, chief, head".
