Notes: Languages differ appreciably in the way in which they speak of disobeying or transgressing a law. It is rarely possible to speak of ‘breaking a law,’ since nothing is actually done to the law in the process of transgression, but languages do employ such expressions as ‘to tramp on a law,’ ‘to ridicule a law,’ and ‘to laugh at a law.’ See also discussion at 36.29: παραβάτης.
