         DefinitionShort: the state of being very hungry, presumably for a considerable period of time and as the result of necessity rather than choice (compare {L:νηστεία}[a] ‘fasting,’ {D:53.65})

         Glosses: ['to be quite hungry', 'considerable hunger', 'lack of food']

         Comments: Terms referring to hunger often distinguish varying degrees of hunger and whether the hunger is by necessity or by choice.
