At 08:48 PM 8/26/98 -0700, you wrote: about hurricanes.... I might be wrong (!)- but I dont think that hurricanes form in the Med. Thus, there is no need for such a word. To be sure, there are storms, etc- which is why lailaps means storm, etc. But as to a specific word for hurricane- I dont believe one exists (in classical or koine greek).
