         Comments: In the NT ὁμίχλη is used only figuratively: οὗτοί εἰσιν πηγαὶ ἄνυδροι καὶ ὁμίχλαι ὑπὸ λαίλαπος ἐλαυνόμεναι ‘these men are dried up springs or mists blown along by a storm’ {S:06100201700012}. The metaphorical usage in {S:06100201700012} must be marked in a number of languages as a simile, for example, ‘these men are like springs that have dried up and are like mists which the storm blows along.’
