         DefinitionShort: the burning vapor surrounding an object on fire

         Glosses: flame

         Comments: As in the case of {L:πῦρ}a ‘fire’ ({D:2.3}), the term φλόξ ‘flame’ is likewise frequently rendered by a verb rather than by a noun. Accordingly, in a passage such as {S:04400703000030} ‘in the flames of a burning bush’ becomes ‘where the burning bush was flaming up’ or ‘where flames were burning a bush.’ In some languages ‘flames’ are referred to as ‘the tongues of the fire’ or ‘the banner of the fire.’ In a number of languages, however, no distinction is made between ‘fire’ and ‘flame.’
