Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With this expressive compound = ";having many folds,"; ";many times over"; in Matthew 19:29, Luke 18:30, we may compare the form πολλαπολλῶν in P Oxy IV. 744.9 (B.C. 1) .(= Witkowski.2, p. 132), where a husband writes to his wife—ἐὰν πολλαπολλῶν τέκῃς. The meaning of πολλαπολλῶν is far from clear, but Witkowski renders quod bene vertat, equivalent to our ";by great good luck.";
