² Perhaps greater caution should be exercised over thestatistics of hapax legotnena and new words in estimating date: noneof the fragments is extensive, and word-formation is a tricky phenomenon to pronounce on dogmatically; ‘there never existed anything like a complete record of the words which had been brought into usage. No author had on his desk anything like a modern dictionary, and accordingly, while there couldbe no doubt as to verba inusitata, there could be no certainty as to verba nova’ (A. D. Nock, in Coniectanea Neotestamentica, xi, Lund, 1947, p. 164).
