I could just as well say that there is no proof that the word "de" cannot be
translated as "cosmonaut".  Fortunately, however, the word "de" is not a
part of the original issue (Mt 24:29), since it wasn't the word translated
as immediately in that case. I only presented "de" to make the point that in
*no* case - not only in the cases of euthus/eutheos, but *no* case - is a
word rendered in the AV as "immediately" also rendered as "suddenly", and
vice versa.  As Jan (who knows more on the subject than I) has already
pointed out, there's no benefit to be gained from pursuing "de".

And *you* accuse *us* of reading things into the text that aren't there?
