Historical Definition
Enochdianum is something that has long life.
Meaning
The entry gives duration as its distinguishing feature. It does not restrict the subject to a human being, identify a medicine, or explain how long life is obtained. Its general wording should remain open to the context in which the headword appears.
Use in the Book
Annus Aniadin is also directly glossed as a long life, while Senio maximus is called the author of long life. These related terms have different grammatical and explanatory roles: a duration, something possessing it, and an attributed source of it. The brief definition does not make them identical.
Places to Read
