         DefinitionShort: a sudden and severe movement of the earth

         Glosses: earthquake

         Comments: Since earthquakes are universal in occurrence, there is normally no difficulty involved in finding some way of speaking about them. However, in a number of languages idiomatic expressions are used, for example, ‘the devil rolled over’ or ‘mother earth belched.’|In {S:04401602600006} the earthquake is regarded as the cause of the prison foundations shaking, and it may be better to restructure the relationships expressed in {S:04401602600006} as ‘the prison shook because of the earthquake.’

         DefinitionShort: a violent action of the surface of a body of water as the result of high waves caused by a strong wind

         Glosses: storm on the sea

         Comments: Though the term σεισμός[b] obviously implies the strong action of the wind, the focus is upon the violent motion caused by the waves. It might, therefore, be more appropriate to translate {S:04000802400006} as ‘there were huge waves on the sea’ or ‘… on the lake.’ Such a translation would then be appropriate for the following clause.
