         DefinitionShort: an engraved object used to make a mark denoting ownership, approval, or closure of something (normally done by pressing into heated wax and usually attached to a document or letter)

         Glosses: ['seal', 'signet']

         Comments: In some languages the closest equivalent to ‘seal’ or ‘signet’ is the mark made by the seal, for example, ‘the symbol of his name’ or ‘the mark of his ownership.’ In certain contexts one may employ a phrase such as ‘the instrument by which a mark is made.’

         Comments: In {S:06600500200034} one may speak of ‘the wax that keeps the scroll closed,’ but in some languages it may be better to use a more general statement, for example, ‘the substance with which the scroll is sealed’ or ‘the substance that kept the scroll closed.’
