`   == Synagogue ==  Hi there! One or two comments and, please, do not be offended:   Synagogue comes from the greek words συν 'syn' = con (as in 'con-servative' for example) and αγωγή 'agogi' = discipline/manner/education, which itself comes from the verb άγειν 'agein' = lead (also look here: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=synagogue)  The word 'agogi' from the ancient times (and even today!) has an absolutely positive meaning: for example, in modern Greece, people say ``He has agogi`` meaning ``He has manners``, ``He knows how to behave`` etc.  Therefore, I would ask you to accept my previous correction, which for some reason you thought it was offending or negative. It is NOT. That's how it is in Greek, and that's the truth... Kokoriko: 13:09 pm GMT, 9/1/05`
