Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The meanings of βέβαιος[c] ({D:28.43}), βεβαιόω[b] and βεβαίωσις ({D:28.44}) involve two quite distinct sets of semantic features. There is the obvious element of that which is confirmed, verified, and true (meanings which could be classified in Domain 72 True, False) as well as the process of making such information known. These meanings could therefore be treated in either domain.'}
