I feel rather ridiculous at not recognizing it at once. But then, I suppose it's good that I don't read Greek in transliteration.

I know that servus is the Latin word for servant, but could it be a bastardized form of the verb servare, to save or guard? Perhaps in that instance it once meant something like 'May God keep you'.

Thanks! Would you mind telling me if the asterisked forms are possible forms or just roots? PS: I would love to know what the word after shalom means and what vowels go with it. I'm still struggling with my Hebrew dictionary because it uses roots and I haven't learned any grammar yet, just been work...

Koine form of Immanuel

Does anyone know if the Hebrew word Immanuel was taken into Koine Greek? If so, would it be a third declension, as in Immanuel, Immanuelos?

Any help would be appreciated. :)
