        DefinitionShort: the stalk of a reed plant

        Glosses: reed

        Comments: In some discussions of κάλαμος[b] the meaning is given as cane, but the term cane must not be confused with the meaning of walking stick. In {S:04101501900012} it may be important in some languages to use a phrase such as heavy reed or strong reed, in order to avoid the impression that the instrument used in striking Jesus was some flimsy or fragile stalk of a plant.

        DefinitionShort: a rod (possibly a reed) used for measuring length

        Glosses: measuring rod

        Comments: There is no indication as to the particular length of κάλαμος[d], but it could have been as much as two meters (about seven feet), since this would not have been an unusual length for a reed. The equivalent of κάλαμος[d] may be simply ‘a measuring stick’ or ‘a stick with which to count the distance.’
