Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'πίπτω[c] and προσπίπτω[a] ({D:17.22}) differ to some extent from προσκυνέω[b] ({D:17.21}) in that they focus primarily upon the actual position rather than upon the intent of showing reverence or making supplication. προσκυνέω[b] is the more formal term and focuses more upon the attitude of reverence or honor.'}

         DefinitionShort: to prostrate oneself before someone, implying supplication{N:001}

         Glosses: ['to prostrate oneself before', 'to fall down before']

         Comments: A strictly literal translation of προσπίπτω[a] or πίπτω[c], namely, ‘to fall down before,’ can be entirely misleading in that it may suggest an accident caused by stumbling or tripping. It may therefore be necessary in a number of languages to translate ‘to bow down low before’ or ‘to bow down to the ground before.’
