    DefinitionShort: terrestrial arachnid (eight-legged) with pincers and a poisonous sting at the end of its jointed tail, which it can hold curved over the back; grows to about 13 cm long; known for the pain and danger of its sting, and associated with harsh, inhospitable living conditions
    Glosses: scorpion
    Comments: In the two NT occurrences of σκορπίος ({S:06600900500038}), the emphasis is upon the stinging capacity of the scorpion, and if in a particular area of the world scorpions are not known, it is possible to use a descriptive phrase such as ‘a fierce, stinging, little creature.’
