         DefinitionShort: a piece of furniture used for sleeping

         Glosses: bed

         Comments: It is not necessary to understand {S:04201100700042} to mean that the children were in the same bed with the man, but it is, of course, possible that the reference here is to a relatively humble house in which all the members of the family would sleep on a single raised platform. See also {D:10.37}.

         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to have bed, though in combination with ἔχω, κοίτη early acquired the metonymic meaning of sexual relations) to be in a state of pregnancy.

         Glosses: ['pregnant', 'to be pregnant']

         Comments: This expression contrasts with the meaning of {L:συλλαμβάνω}[b], {D:23.49}, in that it seems to focus more upon the state of pregnancy rather than the event of conception.
