    DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of {L:θήρα}[a] ‘trap,’ {D:6.24}) an instrument or means for gaining control, implying an element of surprise
    Glosses: ['means of control', 'way of trapping']
    Comments: In a number of languages, it is possible to reflect something of the figurative meaning of θήρα by translating this term as a verb, for example, ‘may they be caught and trapped at their feasts’ or ‘may their feasts snare and trap them’ (see {D:6.24}).
