- (arkikielessä) hapax
Esimerkit
- άγνως is a New Testament hapax legomenon. άγνός occurs two other times in Paul, both occurences are in 2 Cor.
- There is a lovely technical term for a word that appears once in a body of text: a hapax legomenon (plural: hapax legomena), Greek for “once said.” The term comes from philology, the study of old texts.
- In our case this means that πρωτοβαθρέω is an absolute hapax legomenon, if one assumes that the occurrences of βάθρον in Isa and διαβάθρη in Sam II are the result of corruptions.
Taivutusmuodot
| Monikko | hapax legomena |
(linguistics) A word occurring only once in a given corpus.
Rank-frequency plot for words in the novel Moby-Dick. About 44% of the distinct set of words in this novel, such as "matrimonial", occur only once, and so are hapax legomena (red). About 17%, such as "dexterity", appear twice (so-called dis legomena, in blue). Zipf's law predicts that the words in this plot should approximate a straight line with slope −1.
