λευκός

Strong’s: G3022

Associated OET lemmas: λευκός

Form 1

Part of speech: adjc.

Inflections: λευκός; -ή, -όν

Related lemmas: λευκαίνω

Sense 1: white, light color

Semantic entry: 79.27

Semantic domains: Features of Objects

Subdomains: Color

Definition: pertaining to being white or very light in color; applies to (parts of) the human body, animals, plants, inanimate objects

Notes: The term λευκός also occurs in RV JHN 4:35 · LV JHN 4:35 · Read together JHN 4:35 in speaking of fields being ‘white for the harvest,’ but in a number of languages it would be quite impossible to use the same term for the ripe condition of a harvest as in the case of the color of wool or snow. Furthermore, there may be a serious difficulty in speaking of wool as being ‘white,’ since in many parts of the world, wool is not regarded as being particularly white.
