Sense 2: full of, completely, very, totally

Semantic entry: 78.45

Semantic domains: Degree

Subdomains: Completely, Enough [Completive Degree]

Definition: a degree of completeness, with the implication of abundance

Notes: In a number of languages it is simply not possible to speak of a person being ‘full of’ some quality or ‘full of’ some type of activity. Accordingly, one must often restructure the semantic relationships so as to indicate that one is ‘completely’ of a certain nature or ‘entirely’ engaged in some activity. In fact, in some languages this may be expressed negatively in the case of OET MAT 23:28 as ‘within there is nothing but hypocrisy and lawlessness.’ In the case of OET JAM 3:17 one can often express the meaning in terms of habitual activity, for example, ‘always merciful and doing good things.’
