Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible to interpret μετέχω[b] as simply an instance of μετέχω[a] to have a share in or to partake of ({D:57.6}), and in {S:05800501300008} μετέχων could be interpreted in this sense. In {S:04601003000008}, however, μετέχω may be interpreted as being used in an absolute sense and thus meaning to partake of food. But it is also possible that even in {S:04601003000008} one should recognize the ellipsis of an expression for food which could be supplied from the wider context. Note that προσλαμβάνομαι occurs with specific terms for food in {S:04402703600014}, but in such contexts there is no need to assign a meaning to this verb other than the more general meaning of to take hold of (see {D:18.2}).'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is not possible to determine on the basis of existing evidence whether the expression τραπέζης μετέχω is a genuine idiom or a phrase which is to be taken in a literal sense as referring to the ordinance of Holy Communion in contrast to banqueting in heathen temples.'}]

        DefinitionShort: (normally occurring together with a term specifying the particular food in question, but also occurring absolutely in contexts relating to food; μετέχω[b] is probably more formal than {L:ἐσθίω}[a], {D:23.1}) to partake of or to consume food, whether solid or liquid{N:001}

        Glosses: ['to eat', 'to eat food', 'to drink']

        Comments: In contexts in which μετέχω occurs, it may be important to select a term for the eating which will go specifically with the type of food in question. For various types of distinctions made in terms for eating, see the discussion at {D:23.1} and its footnote.

        Comments: In order to express the meaning of ‘belonged to a different tribe,’ it may be necessary to say ‘he had a different tribe name’ or ‘his tribe was different’ or ‘he was counted as a member of another tribe.’
