         DefinitionShort: to cause someone to become a prisoner of war

         Glosses: ['to make captive', 'to take captive', 'to capture someone in war']

         Comments: In {S:04900400800012} {L:αἰχμαλωσία} ‘captivity’ ({D:55.23}) is added redundantly to αἰχμαλωτεύω due to Semitic usage. The combination of words simply means ‘to take many captives.’
