I'm interested in finding Greek terms involving sex and sexual
activities, terms that would have been vulgar or crude (the phi-words in
Greek :-)) but that were given euphemistic renderings by Liddell and Scott
(or other 19th century lexicographers). This is a sudden and urgent
interest (since I suddenly realized that it might relate to a conference
paper I'm writing, and it needs to be written in the next few days...);
but since almost all of my work is in NT and other early Jewish and
Christian texts, I must confess not to have a slew of such beasts at my
ready disposal.
Any words come to mind?
