Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Valerius Maximus, De Factis Dictisque

Greek Monolingual

ο, Ν
(σε αλιευτική βάρκα) είδος άγκυρας με τέσσερεις βραχίονες.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Κατά μία άποψη < τέσσερα + χαλός, διαλ. λ. που σημαίνει «αιχμή» και είναι μάλλον αραβ. προέλευσης].
