Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The series of expressions indicating relative shortness of time may very well differ slightly, at least in connotative meaning, but on the basis of existing NT contexts it is not possible to determine significant denotative differences. The phrases in this series may be technically regarded as idioms, but functionally they are better classed as frozen phrases, which act essentially like morphological units.'}

    Comments: In {S:06600300800034} it would seem that {L:μικρός} might very well be classified as indicating quantity (see {D:59.15}), but it is probably better understood as indicating the extent of a state of being powerful, expressed in a number of languages in a negative form, for example, ‘you are not very powerful.’
