καρποφορέω

Associated OET lemmas: καρποφορέω

Notes: By setting up certain highly generic meanings for βλαστάνω, δίδωμι, ἀποδίδωμι, and ποιέω, it would be possible to treat the phrase compounds in this series as being semantically endocentric. However, it seems more satisfactory to regard them as what might be called low-grade idioms with specialized meanings of the semantically head expressions.
