         DefinitionShort: a hole, typically occupied by an animal as a den or lair

         Glosses: ['hole', 'den', 'lair']

         Comments: In most languages it is important to make a distinction between φωλεός as in {S:04200905800016} and {L:ὀπή} ‘hole’ ({D:1.53}), for φωλεός is normally some type of hole serving as a typical habitation or place of escape for an animal, while {L:ὀπή} in {S:05801103800032} would not be a place of normal habitation.
