         DefinitionShort: small flying insect; feeds on human or animal blood; regarded as pest

         Glosses: ['gnat', 'mosquito']

         Comments: The straining of liquids referred to in {S:04002302400012} is based on the regulations in Leviticus 11, in which the gnat is the smallest of the unclean creatures and the camel the largest.|For the only occurrence of κώνωψ in the NT, one may use a term which refers to any small flying insect which might fall into a beverage and thus have to be strained out.
