         DefinitionShort: a degree which almost equals some point on a scale of extent, but not quite

         Glosses: ['barely', 'just', 'scarcely', 'with difficulty', 'hardly']

         Comments: In a number of languages it may be difficult to render the degree ‘which falls just short of the precise extent.’ For example, in the case of {S:06100201800022} an equivalent of τοὺς ὀλίγως ἀποφεύγοντας (GNT4) may be ‘those who were just starting to escape.’
