Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This Hebrew loanword (בַּת) is rather strangely transliterated βάδος in Hesychius, who implies that this was commoner than βάτος : perhaps the fact that δ was now generally spirantised (like th in bathe) made it seem nearer than τ to the Hebrew letter. See Tischendorf on Luke 16:6 : to אLX, which spell with δ , must now be added W.
