         DefinitionShort: duration of time, either continuous or episodic, but without limits

         Glosses: ['always', 'constantly', 'continually']

         Comments: In some languages there may be problems involved in rendering ἀεί or διὰ παντός[b], since there may be a basic distinction between (a) continuous activity and (b) activity which may be defined as episodic in that it regularly recurs in related episodes. For example, in {S:04700601000006} the fact of being glad may be related specifically to the occasions of being saddened, while in {S:04001801000034} the focus of meaning is probably upon the continuous nature of the relation.
