This is an ambiguous statement in the opening paragraph: "The Greek word for litany is Συναπτή/Synaptê, Ektenia being derived from the Slavonic ектенїѧ/ekteniya."

Considering a grammatical restructuring to "The common Greek word for litany is Συναπτή/Synaptê, the English transliteration Ektenia being derived from the Slavonic ектенїѧ/ekteniya, itself from the Greek "ekteneia = extension, intentness (of mind), earnestness". It otherwise reads as if Slavonic was the source of this word, which is not the case. Here's a reference if you must have one too http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1616. 128.250.6.244 01:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Wiki Watcher!Reply

Brilliant observation - would you do the honours? =) InfernoXV 06:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Am I allowed to? I'm not a registered user of this website, and so I would prefer if someone who had the authority could do so. It was just an observation, a passing glance at an otherwise interesting insight into the cultural heritage of Byzantium. I could change it but that would probably render me a "vandal" in the eyes of fellow registered users and that is not my intent. Mere correctness is. :) Thank you. Wiki Watcher!
