A script found no Elohim, Yahweh, YHWH, craft, missile, atomic, nuclear, planet, Eternals, loudspeaker or similar lens vocabulary in any line. The only hits were 'ship(s)' (8:9 ploia; worship) and 'Israel' (substring 'rael'), both benign. Each Wheel of Heaven reading sits in its own headed paragraph labelled 'reception note, not a translation claim'. Each was verified against LWTE ch. 2 (LWTE-2:155-228), FR and EN. No line resolves an ambiguity in the canon's direction: the visionary hōs/homoios markers are kept (8:8; 9:7-10), 'the number of a man' stays open (13:18), 'breastplates' is used rather than the canon's French 'thorax' (9:9), 'pit of the abyss' is kept (9:1), and theos is 'God' where the canon's English has 'Yahweh'/'Elohim' (9:13; 21:2-4). Where the line and the canon's English diverge, the line follows the Greek critical text, and at 8:7 that text agrees with the canon's French.","escalationReportAdjustments":"Initial verdicts on all 146 verses, the 10 overlay entries touched and the 13 diff ops were formed from the chapters, the SBLGNT sources (including the sigla-bearing Rev.txt in the scratchpad), the overlay, the diff and the 2.80.0 base before opening wave-r2-editor-report.md. After reading the report, no verdict changed. The report's Founder point C lists the KJV-wording variants named in commentary (8:7, 9:13, 10:4, 21:2, 21:3 'his people ... their God', 21:4). It omits 21:3 'out of heaven', which confirms the reviewer's 21:3 revise. Its 9:13 request ('the Reviewer should verify this against the NA28 apparatus') was met as far as possible: the SBLGNT marker confirms a collated edition reads tessarōn, and the corrected attribution agrees with the reviewer's reading of Metzger. The printed NA28 apparatus was not available, so this is recorded as unverified at the sigla level, not as a defect. The report's 'All other lines are the Translator's draft, unchanged' was confirmed by diffing against the rev_r2 backup: only 16:3 and 16:9 differ.","founderDecisionRecommendations":{"A-theion-sulfur":"Endorse. LXX theion = gophrit (Gen 19:24), BDAG 'sulfur', NRSV 'sulfur' at all four sites; the central entry already renders the Revelation lake passages 'sulfur'. The canon's English 'brimstone' (9:18) is recorded.","B-theos-God-not-Yahweh-Elohim":"Endorse firmly. theos does not render the Tetragrammaton, the canon's own French has 'Dieu', and chapters 1, 4, 6 are signed off with 'God'. Writing 'Yahweh' would translate the canon's English edition, not the Greek.","C-critical-text-over-KJV-wording":"Endorse. Complete the inventory: add 21:3 'out of heaven' (TR ek tou ouranou) and 16:18 (NA28 singular; TR order 'voices, thunders, lightnings'); correct 8:7 to say the omission is a TR reading, not the Byzantine majority's. Optionally name 16:3 zōsa and 21:4 hoti.","D-names-and-scope-rule":"Endorse, and support promotion to a central Greek-NT convention. Add the explicit criterion (apply where the central English is also a correct rendering of the Greek lexeme; background where it imports a Hebrew-specific form), which explains chayyot at 7:11 and gophrit for theion.","E-exousia":"Endorse. The context rule follows BDAG's sense division and RSV/NRSV practice; 16:9 'authority over' aligns with 6:8 and 13:7. Uniform 'authority' would read badly at 9:10, 19.","F-16:3-living-being":"Endorse. 'soul' for sea creatures imports a personal sense; 'living being' keeps the noun and the nep̄eš ḥayyâ echo.","G-doulos-servants":"Endorse. Keeps the signed-off 1:1/6:11 and the canon's English 'servants'; the French 'esclaves' is recorded.","H-pit-of-the-abyss":"Endorse. ASV structure; matches the canon's French 'le puits de l'abîme'.","I-Har-magedon":"Endorse. ASV form, follows the SBLGNT/NA28 rough breathing, keeps har visible without deciding the etymology.","J-12:18-versification":"Endorse. P47, Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus read estathē, and SBLGNT/NA28 number it 12:18 (Metzger on 12:18).
