         DefinitionShort: pertaining to a benefit to be derived from some ob ject, event, or state

         Glosses: ['advantage', 'benefit', 'beneficial']

         Comments: In a number of languages the equivalent of ‘benefit’ or ‘beneficial’ is often ‘that which helps.’ Accordingly, in {S:05400400800028} one may render ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος as ‘physical exercise helps to a small extent’ or ‘if one exercises one’s body, that helps a little.’
