Notes: This meaning of πράσσω is particularly complex because it certainly is not restricted merely to what one is actually overtly engaged in doing. At the same time one must recognize that the meaning is not merely to undergo experiences. It is this particularly complex aspect of the meaning of πράσσω which is perhaps best reflected in ‘how I am faring’ or ‘how I am making out.’
