πλήρωμα (plήrōma) — that which fills / contents / full number

Notes: In a number of contexts it is difficult to determine whether the meanings in 67.69: ἐκπλήρωσις / 67.69: πλήρωμα and 67.70: πίμπλημι / 67.70: πληρόω / 67.70: συμπληρόω are primarily temporal or aspectual. If the meaning in any one context seems to focus upon the completion of an activity, then the meaning should be classified as aspectual (Domain 68 Aspect), but if the emphasis would seem to be primarily upon the end point of an activity, then one may legitimately classify these meanings as being temporal.
