        Comments: In {S:06602201600038} {L:ῥίζα}[b] ({D:10.33}) and γένος[a] are very similar in meaning, and it is often best to coalesce the two terms into a single expression, for example, ‘I am a descendant of David’ or ‘I belong to the lineage of David.’

        DefinitionShort: a relatively large group of persons regarded as being biologically related{N:001}

        Glosses: ['race', 'ethnic group', 'nation']

        Comments: It may be difficult in some languages to clearly distinguish between culture and race as in {S:04100702600016}. Sometimes this difference can be indicated by saying ‘the woman lived like a Greek, but she was a Syrophoenician’ or ‘… her parents were from Syrophoenicia.’ In translating ‘people of my own race’ in {S:04501101400012}, it may be necessary to say ‘all my fellow Jews’ or ‘all those people of whom I am a part’ or ‘those people who are my roots’ or ‘… my trunk,’ based on the analogy of a tree trunk and branches.
