Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'There may be some subtle distinction in meaning between δέχομαι[a] on the one hand and λαμβάνω[c] and λῆμψις on the other, in that the latter set of meanings may imply more active participation on the part of the one who receives or takes the gift, but this cannot be determined from existing contexts.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [''], 'Content': 'There are no doubt certain contextual constraints involved in the choice of ἀναδέχομαι[a], ἀποδέχομαι[a], ἐπιδέχομαι[a], εἰσδέχομαι, ὑποδέχομαι, προσδέχομαι[b], and παραδέχομαι[b] in the sense that the spacial relationships involved in the welcoming of a guest can be reflected in the prepositional prefixes. For example, in {S:04200804000014} the use of ἀποδέχομαι may focus upon the particular source, while ἐπιδέχομαι in {S:06400101000044} may be relevant in view of the fact that the believers are coming to a particular point. προσδέχομαι in {S:04201500200026} may suggest a kind of reciprocal relationship which is established with outcasts, and παραδέχομαι in {S:04401500400010} may simply point to spacial proximity. However, it would be wrong to insist upon clear distinctions in meaning based on the very limited number of contexts involved. Some of these same distinctions in spacial relations may exist for the set προσλαμβάνω[e], παραλαμβάνω[d], ἀπολαμβάνω[d].'}, {'Caller': 3, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04202201700004'], 'Content': 'It is possible that δέχομαι in {S:04202201700004} may mean ‘to receive’ (see {D:57.125}).'}]

    DefinitionShort: to take hold of something or someone, with or without force
    Glosses: ['to take hold of', 'to grasp', 'to grab']
    Comments: A number of languages differ radically in terms for ‘taking hold of,’ depending upon whether force is employed, whether the object is a thing or an animate being, and whether the language incorporates into a verb of ‘taking hold of’ a classification as to the objects involved, for example, long and thin, round and flat, ball-like, angular, or lumpy.
