Hi,
I have a question on the meaning of ginwskw. Most of you will no doubt be
aware that, although the lexicon meaning of this word is essentially "to
know", it is used as a euphemism for sex relations. I have heard it argued
that this implies that ginwskw refers to a more intimate form of knowledge
than the other Greek words for knowledge. For example "to know by
experience". I would be interested to hear comment on this.
thanks
Peter.
