         DefinitionShort: that which ought to be if one only had one’s wish

         Glosses: would that

         Comments: In a number of languages it may be preferable to translate ὄφελον as simply an expression of wishing. Therefore, {S:04701100100002} might be rendered as ‘I wish you would grant me a bit of foolishness’ or ‘I wish you would tolerate a bit of foolishness on my part.’
