         Glosses: charcoal fire

         Comments: The occurrence of ἀνθρακιά ‘charcoal fire’ in {S:04301801800016} fits the context well, since a charcoal fire provides a maximum of heat with a minimum of smoke. The making and use of charcoal is widespread throughout the world, and there is generally no difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory term for ‘charcoal.’ However, where such a term does not exist, it is possible to speak of ‘a wood fire’ or simply ‘a fire.’
