Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is difficult to determine whether χλωρός should be regarded as having two different meanings or whether the meaning should be regarded as covering a range of color from light green through greenish yellow and greenish gray, but for the practical purposes of highlighting certain differences in color, two meanings of χλωρός are listed here ({D:79.34} and {D:79.35}).'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['06600900400026'], 'Content': 'The Greek term χλωρόν (as a substantive) also occurs in non-New Testament contexts with a generic meaning of any kind of plant, thus being roughly equivalent to the meaning of φυτεία ({D:3.1}), but in {S:06600900400026} χλωρόν contrasts with χόρτον ‘grass’ and δένδρον ‘tree’ and thus evidently refers to larger annuals and smaller perennial plants.'}]

         DefinitionShort: (semantic derivative of {L:χλωρός}[a] ‘green,’ {D:79.34})

         Glosses: plant

         Comments: In a number of languages it would seem redundant to speak of ‘green plants,’ since all plants are regarded as being green. It may therefore be more satisfactory to employ a rendering such as ‘nor any plant,’ referring in this instance to larger annual plants or bushes, in contrast with both grass and trees.
