I didn't mean to imply that all occurrences of the word must contain all
the possible nuances of the word, I'm merely trying to understand what
those possible nuances are.
Are ideas like "mature," "healthy," and morally or ethically "perfect" possible
nuances of Takliyth?
Are they possible nuances of perfectum, but not of Takliyth?
Would it have been wrong for Augustine to read such a meaning into Takliyth?
These are the questions I'm interested in.

I know it occurs only five times in the Old Testament, but I would assume it
occurs more often than that in the entire Hebrew corpus (i.e. Midrash, Mishna,
Apocrypha, Talmud, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc.), wouldn't it?

Hi Mike,
It seems to me that you are trying to achieve a level of pedantic precision
that is probably unattainable. Also, you seem to indicate by your use of the
word "contain" that all occurrences of the word in question "contain" all the
possible nuances of the word. The Hebrew word only occurs five times and seems
to mean something like "complete, utter, absolute," etc. The Latin term, I'm
sure Barry could tell us, occurs much more often in the entire Latin corpus and
has a much larger range of suggested meanings and nuances; nevertheless, no
single occurrence of the Latin term will "contain" all the possible meanings.
Blessings,
Jerry
