Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['06000102300008'], 'Content': 'It is also possible to understand σπορά in {S:06000102300008} as referring to the process of procreation as being analogical to the sowing of seed, but the attributives φθαρτῆς and ἀφθάρτου would seem to shift the meaning of σπορά to parentage. It is possible that this use of σπορά in {S:06000102300008} represents a case of figurative usage rather than conventionalized figurative meaning.'}
