         DefinitionShort: the kernel part of fruit, usually grain

         Glosses: seed

         Comments: A number of languages make distinctions between two quite different types of seed: (1) those produced by grasses (that is to say, grains) and (2) those produced by other types of plants, for example, beans, squash, apples, etc. In all passages employing the Greek terms in this subdomain ({L:κόκκος}, {L:σπέρμα}, σπόρος), it is best to use some expression referring to ‘grain.’|See also {D:10.23} for {L:σπορά} ‘seed’ used figuratively of descendants.
