The font in question is Palatino Linotype (as you may have seen in the
page's code).  I use it as my default font since it contains both all
the characters for biblical Greek, and all the characters for Kazak
(extended Cyrillic).  The red color for the original was sort of an
accident, but it did make it easier to tell things apart.

What do you think of the grammar?  I know I didn't say much about it,
but I was sort of hoping people might be able to deduce things about it
through the interlinear.
