daijirin: んとする 〔補説〕 「むとす」の口語形 ［1］ まさに、そうなろうとしている。 ・ まさに天を衝か―する意気込み ［2］ そうするつもりだ。そうしようとする。 ・ 国政を改革せ―する決意 meikyo: ん 3)《「…―とす」の形で》実現する直前である、また、実現のために努力する意を表す。「芸術家たら―とする青年にとって…〈大岡信〉」 ん‐と‐・する 1) 意志を表す。「君の言わ―ところはよく分かる」 2) 実現しかかっている意を表す。「山雨来たら―・して風楼に満つ」「いままさに殺され―苦しみの中にあって〈三浦綾子〉」 ◆推量の助動詞「ん」＋格助詞「と」＋動詞「する」。「んとす」の口語形で、現代語の「…(よ)うとする」に当たる。 daijisen: ん ２ （「んとする」の形で）意志・推量の意を表す。「言わんとすることはわかった」 BTW, the current english glosses are all incorrectly entered as nouns, which would correspond with "言わんとする***こと***", etc. i'll add entries for んとする and むとす |

Basically this is used to admit that something (a view point, a summation) is unarguable before going on to ask, explain or argue a more subtle point. You could lose the initial と to slightly improve searchability. /そこまで/ is another variation but much less used. |

| Editorial Comment | I added the Jehova, and a link to エホバ. I was just comment that "Jehova" wasn't strictly a reading. Jehova isn't regarded as a mispelling - its derivation is a mis-transliteration from Hebrew, because the translator thought the "adonai" written with it was a set of vowel marks. |
