1 Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? [kjv]

… κομα … [gnt]

11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. [kjv]

… κομα … κομη … [gnt]

The above verses can cause a lot of heated discussion, part of which is to which time period does it apply.

Do stars have "hair"? What is a long-haired star?

A modern Greek word "κόμη" (KO-mee) ≈ "hair".

Some Bible verses use the term «κομα» or «κόμη» for "long hair".

The English word "comb" has Proto-Germanic origins but has PIE (Proto Indo-European) roots with the corresponding Greek root «κομ».

Numbers 6:5

The Greek word for "comet" is a shortened form of «αστέρ κομήτης» or "star of long hair" or "long-haired star".

The Latin word "cometa" ≈ "comet".
The modern Greek word "κομήτης" (ko-MEE-tees) ≈ "comet".

So a long-haired star is a "comet".

What did the reporter say when asked about the long-haired star

The reporter said, no comet.

Exodus 24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. [kjv]

… κρατηρας … [lxx]

… crateras … [v]

One problem with wine is that of overdoing it to excess. Natural wine does not become fermented as strong wine, but the Greeks (and others) had ways of doing this.

In ancient Greek, a «κρηταρα» was a basin or bowl, often used to mix wine and water so that, by evaporation or by adding water, one could make it either stronger or weaker.

The Latin word is "crater" ≈ "bowl-shaped mouth of a volcano".
The word "crater" has been applied to features of the Moon since 1831.

The modern Greek word "κρατήρας" (kra-TEE-ras) ≈ "crater".

Latin: tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare
