verb | φλόξ
14.65 · Physical Events and States · Burning
to ignite, to kindle, to set ablaze, to start a fire, to light a lamp to cause the process of burning to begin As already noted in the series of terms listed in 14.63, languages differ appreciably in terms employed for different phases and results of burning. For example, to set something on fire for the sake of providing warmth may be expressed by quite a different term from that which is used in speaking of the process of setting something on fire in order to destroy it.
