Calling
CRITICAL, and a uniquely Greek risk: in Modern Greek, ‘κλήση’ overwhelmingly means an ordinary phone call or a legal summons/traffic ticket in everyday speech (‘μου ήρθε κλήση,’ ‘I got a ticket’). This is the reverse problem from most languages in this pipeline: instead of a false-sounding word carrying too much wrong meaning, a genuinely correct, biblically rooted word risks being heard as trivial or bureaucratic because of overwhelming secular usage. Requires deliberate reactivation of the theological sense in every occurrence.
