λίνον

Strong’s: G3043

Associated OET lemmas: λίνον

Notes: It would be possible to treat λίνον[a] linen cloth (6.165: λίνον) and βύσσος fine linen (6.166: βύσσος) as meaning linen garments and fine linen garments respectively. However, there is no need for setting up such a separate meaning for NT usage, especially since in both OET REV 15:6 and OET LUK 16:19 the semantic element of garment or clothing is a significant compound of the verb meaning to dress, and thus the referents would naturally be garments. The same applies to πορφύρα (6.169: πορφύρα / 6.169: πορφυροῦς) in OET LUK 16:19.
