noun, n. | -ατος | τρυμαλιά
6.216 · Artifacts · Miscellaneous
hole a small opening (used in the NT only with reference to the so-called ‘eye’ of a needle) The hole in a needle is variously referred to in different languages, for example, ‘the nostril of the needle,’ ‘the ear of the needle,’ ‘the mouth of the needle,’ and even ‘the anus of the needle.’
1 The terms τρῆμα, τρύπημα, and τρυμαλιά actually belong theoretically to a domain of openings, holes, and apertures, but since these terms in the NT are associated so closely with a needle, it seems far more satisfactory to treat them together with ῥαφίς and βελόνη needle (6.215).
