         DefinitionShort: (an Aramaic word)

         Glosses: be opened

         Comments: The Aramaic word εφφαθα, together with the Greek interpretation ‘be opened,’ may still be relatively meaningless in the context of {S:04100703400020} since it refers to the capacity for hearing.|In a number of languages one does not speak of a deaf person as ‘one whose ears are closed.’ The most appropriate equivalent may simply be ‘be able to hear’ or even ‘now you can hear.’
