         DefinitionShort: to cause to move up

         Glosses: to raise

         Comments: In a number of languages one cannot speak of ‘raising hands,’ since this would imply something that was detached from the body. It may therefore be necessary to say ‘extending hands upwards.’

         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to raise up the head) to demonstrate courage in the face of danger or adversity

         Glosses: ['to have courage', 'to lift the head']

         Comments: A literal rendering of ἐπαίρω τὴν κεφαλήν ‘to lift up the head’ can be misleading in some languages, since the expression may be an idiom meaning ‘to be proud’ or ‘to try to take precedence over others.’ A more satisfactory equivalent in some languages may be ‘to look up.’
