Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that μείζων as an expression of degree differs somewhat in meaning from πλείων[b], even as in the positive degree a distinction seems to occur between μέγας[b] ({D:78.2}) and πολύς[c] ({D:78.3}). In the comparative forms, however, it seems difficult to substantiate this type of distinction.'}

         Comments: In {S:04100301200004} πολλά indicates only degree, but it may be rendered in English as ‘sternly’ because part of the meaning of ἐπετίμα may be appropriately transferred to the adverbial attributive so as to express the extent and nature of the warning. In {S:04402104000030} the phrase πολλῆς δὲ σιγῆς γενομένης refers to the fact that the crowd became very quiet. πολλῆς clearly indicates the degree of quietness, though in many languages one cannot speak of something being ‘very quiet’; on the contrary, such a state can only be described in terms of the absence of noise, for example, ‘when nobody was saying anything.’
