No fair peeking!

Here it is, for your perusal:

REPLENISH
Oh, I see, you are using the French Dictionary. According to Webster RE, a prefix or inseparable particle in the composition of words, denotes return, repetition, iteration. It is contracted from red, which the Latins retained in words beginning with a vowel, as in redamo, redeo, redintegro. In a few English words, all or most of which, I believe, we receive from the French, it has lost its appropriate signification, as in rejoice, recommend, receive.

I find your arbitrary decision to cherry-pick Webster and tell us what's appropriate repugnant. The first time I read your post I only found it pugnant. then I re-read it, and found it re-pugnant.

Perhaps it's just comedic irony, but the most high profile people who rail the hardest against fluoridated water supplies often times have some gnarly looking chompers.

The "anti-Fluoride guy" from the Price Pottinger foundation

I am using The American Dictionary of the English Language.

And FYI, Strong's Concordance says it is the Hebrew word "male".

Here's part of the entry:

or malae (Esth. 7:5) {maw-law'}; a primitive root, to fill

I can not understand how Adam was to "fill the earth" if God put him in the Garden of Eden.

In the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, Genesis 1:28 says:

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth"1.

This command was given to Adam and Eve, instructing them to populate and manage the earth. Although they started in the Garden of Eden, the directive to “replenish the earth” implies that their descendants were to spread out and inhabit the entire world.

If he does, will it change the meaning of what he said?

Correct.

Populate -- not repopulate.

Although they started in the Garden of Eden, the directive to “replenish the earth” implies that their descendants were to spread out and inhabit the entire world.

No argument there.
