I can't really speak to what is represented as Funk's idea (although at
first blush it seems implausible), but it is evident (DHLON) that Galileans
are distinguished by their speech (LALIA) as in Mt26:73, KAI GAR hH LALIA
SOU DHLON SE POIEI. Whether LALIA refers to accent or dialect is another
issue, but I somewhat favor the former over the latter.
