Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The overlapping features of meaning in γῆ[d], χώρα[b], κλίμα, ὅριον, and μέρος[c] may be readily illustrated by the comparable overlapping of English terms such as ‘region,’ ‘territory,’ and ‘land.’ For example, in the case of {S:04001502100018} it would be possible to speak of the ‘region of Tyre and Sidon,’ the ‘territory of Tyre and Sidon,’ the ‘land of Tyre and Sidon,’ and even the ‘district of Tyre and Sidon.’ The English terms ‘region,’ ‘territory,’ ‘land,’ and ‘district’ do differ in certain nuances of meaning reflecting primarily supplementary components which are largely connotative.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that in the case of such meanings as τόπος[f] ({D:11.59}), πόλις[c] ({D:11.61}), κώμη[b] ({D:11.62}), and χώρα[e] ({D:11.64}) one should count on certain more or less automatic semantic rules by which the meaning of ‘inhabitants’ could be derived by metonymy from expressions of place. Since, however, such metonymic developments are far from universal, the distinct meanings are listed here as a practical guide to translators. The same type of problem occurs with Ιεροσόλυμα ‘Jerusalem,’ Ἰουδαία ‘Judea,’ and περίχωρος ‘region’ in {S:04000300500000}.'}]

DefinitionShort: dry land, in contrast with the sea
Glosses: land
Comments: In a number of languages a clear distinction is made between terms which designate land in contrast with water and those which designate cultivated land. Even in English the normal term for land close to water is ‘shore’ or ‘coast,’ and therefore one may translate {S:04001402400018} as ‘the boat was already far away from the shore.’ Similarly, in {S:04402702700042} one may translate ‘we were getting close to shore.’

DefinitionShort: region or regions of the earth, normally in relation to some ethnic group or geographical center, but not necessarily constituting a unit of governmental administration{N:001}
Glosses: ['region', 'territory', 'land (and even district', 'though this might imply too precisely a governmental area)']
Comments: The meanings of γῆ[d], χώρα[b], κλίμαὅριον, and μέρος[c] are not to be regarded as completely synonymous, but in certain of their NT usages they are largely overlapping in reference.

DefinitionShort: the inhabitants of a region{N:002}
Glosses: ['region', 'inhabitants of a region']
Comments: In a number of languages it is quite impossible to speak of ‘a region going out’ ({S:04100100500016}), since the term for ‘region’ cannot substitute for ‘the people of the region.’ Therefore, all such references must be made personal.
