Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that in the case of such meanings as τόπος[f] ({D:11.59}), πόλις[c] ({D:11.61}), κώμη[b] ({D:11.62}), and χώρα[e] ({D:11.64}) one should count on certain more or less automatic semantic rules by which the meaning of inhabitants could be derived by metonymy from expressions of place. Since, however, such metonymic developments are far from universal, the distinct meanings are listed here as a practical guide to translators. The same type of problem occurs with Ιεροσόλυμα ‘Jerusalem,’ Ἰουδαία ‘Judea,’ and περίχωρος ‘region’ in {S:04000300500000}.'}

    Comments: In rendering τόπος[b], περιοχή, or γραφή[a], it is often possible to use a rather general term such as the place or the part. In other instances one may wish to use a term meaning the words. Accordingly, {S:04200402100020} may be rendered as ‘these words have come true today as you have heard them being read.’

In some languages it may be necessary to construct a descriptive equivalent for ‘sandbank,’ for example, ‘a hill of sand just beneath the surface of the water’ or ‘a ridge of sand hidden by the water.’
