        Glosses: ['to ruin', 'to destroy', 'destruction']

        Comments: In a number of languages it is difficult to find a general term for ‘destruction.’ What has often happened is the extension of meaning from a more specific type of reference, for example, ‘to smash,’ to a more generic meaning of ‘to destroy,’ and whether one understands the specific or more generic meaning depends largely upon the context. Accordingly, in {S:04400800300006} one may find a figurative usage of a term meaning ‘to smash’ (though understood in a more generic sense), for example, ‘Saul then worked in order to smash the church.’|It is also possible that λυμαίνομαι in {S:04400800300006} may mean ‘to injure severely’ (see {D:20.24}).
