Shlama akhi Chris,
Unfortunately 'ema' (nation, Gentiles, people) and 'elma' (world, age, eternity) don't have a common root. [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0ml9[/font] is already in root form and can't be reduced. The root of [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0m9[/font] is [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]M9[/font]
I think a hard-shell Greek primacist would just smirk, shrug his shoulders and say "Bah! Humbug! Copyist error!", and unfortunately, in this instance, he may very well be right. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s -->
