         DefinitionShort: one who cards, cleans, and/or bleaches cloth

         Glosses: ['bleacher', 'fuller']

         Comments: In {S:04100900300020} the reference is obviously to the process of bleaching, but a γναφεύς also was engaged in the cleaning of cloth as well as carding it, a process by which the nap of cloth was somewhat raised and made soft by being combed with bristles.
