"Akoptos" in the Greek means "uncut", so Paul had a word he could have used. IMO, when you say shorn or shaven, you are talking about the way a man would cut his hair. That is "cropped short" or "shaved off".

PO, this is a very interesting post. I thought I had heard it all when it comes to the "hair issue," but I was wrong. Thanks for giving me something to chew on.
