>Wouldn't it always be better lexicographically to
give a normal "translation" than an interpretive gloss
that is clearly not really part of a word's semantic
domain from its original linguistic context?  Now I
don't know where to look for good translations for
words.

<doug>
not necessarily. and what do you mean by "normal
'translation'"? normal according to what standard? are
you an advocate of concordant translation (e.g., would
you expect it to be englished as "flesh" everywhere it
occurs?)

also, you have not proven that the gloss
["interpretive" as you call it] here is disallowed in
all contexts. perhaps it is part of the semantic range
of the word. i do not see that you have proven that it
is not.
