Padraic, my friend! I really don't see any difference between "let Thy
Name be hallowed" and "hallowed be thy name". Is it because of
English being not my L1? Indeed, the Greek text says "hagiasthE:to:"
which is 3sn treating "thy name" (to OnomA sou) as subject of the
clause, and "thy" (sou) keeps 2sn for talking to G-d.
