that RABBULI is a problem is a red herring. the problem lay with the Greek, which can't decide how to render the term, thus the bazillion* variants there.

Shlama akhi,
devil's advocate OOORRRRRR are we to treat this in a similar manner to the Jewish tradition of looking at every Hebrew "misspelling" in the Tanakh as a hint to something the Spirit is trying to convey? just a thought, but i've actually benefited from commentary on certain nuances / anomalies in the Hebrew text, so perhaps someone should take that route for the Eastern Peshitta....
