Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'One may also classify the meaning of μελος in Domain 63 Whole, Unite, Part, Divide and consider its reference to body parts as only an instance of an even more generic meaning, namely, part ({D:63.17}). On the other hand, its frequent association wit the body in absolute contexts may justify its classification here as a generic for body parts.'}

         Comments: In some languages an equivalent of μέλος is simply ‘division,’ and in a few languages an even more generic expression such as ‘things’ is used, so that ‘the parts of the body’ may be rendered by an expression meaning literally ‘things of the body.’|In different languages the various parts of the body are classified in a number of diverse ways. In some languages the sensory organs of seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting (those related to the head) are often set off from other types of organs, while in other languages special terms may be employed for those organs involving movement, for example, the joints, arms, legs, etc. Other languages make extensive subclassifications of body parts on the basis of whether they are external or internal, though such classifications often appear to be arbitrary, since teeth and tongue may be regarded as either external or internal.
