<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I am interested in the possible relationship between BAPTIZW and BAPTW. <BR>
BAPTW apparently involves dipping to dye whereas BAPTIZW has a broader<BR>
semantic range in the New Testament with focus directed at the result.<BR>
<BR>
Are BAPTIZW and BAPTW different words?<BR>
Can they be considered opposites?<BR>
BAPTIZW = Take a stained thing and make it clean (wash)<BR>
BAPTW = Take a clean thing and make it stained (dye)<BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
This may be somewhat oversimplifying, however, -IZW verbs are generally considered to be causative.<BR>
