         DefinitionShort: to break an object into two or more parts (in the NT κλάω and κλάσις are used exclusively for breaking bread)

         Glosses: ['to break', 'to break bread']

         Comments: In some languages important distinctions are made for terms meaning ‘to break’ depending on the substance involved. For example, the breaking of a stick or a bone would require quite a different term from that used in speaking of breaking bread. Furthermore, the action of breaking bread would probably imply breaking into several pieces rather than a single break. Such a distinction may likewise require a special term.
