http://biblelexicon.org/matthew/6-11.htm (with lexicon entries
presumably about specifically Biblical/Koin=E9 Greek) both call it
simply "bread, loaf, cake of bread".

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a {-mo'}: "Don't punish us because of
our sins, _because_ we don't punish those who sin against us, either".
Though that doesn't capture the "as" all that well. (But I'm not sure
whether "... law' ... rap" or "rur" work well when connecting verb
phrases rather than nouns.)
Or perhaps he understood "as" in the meaning of "since" ("He didn't
come, as it was raining") rather than in the meaning of "in the same
way as" ("We're raising our child as our parents raised us")?

I think it's meaning B of
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=3DPerseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.005=
7%3Aalphabetic+letter%3D*o%3Aentry+group%3D77%3Aentry%3Do%28%2Fti^
- so something like "because".
As to whether that's vital or not to the sense of the sentence I'll leave o=
pen.

That would indeed be awesome.
