I'll respond to some of this:

QELW to me has 3 prominent lexical meanings:

1. will

Which, when used of God, would correspond to His "sovereignty." When will is
used of man, it refers to our "volition."

2. design

3. purpose


>What lexicological issues are involved in SWZW?

In general, SWZW denotes a deliverance. This word had a wide variety of
nuances in the NT alone. Primarily is context driven.


>Are there any temporal limitations on the sense of SWQHNAI QELEI?

Sorry. Clueless as to what you are asking here.
