Certain Words

Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931), Sappho und Simonides (Berlin: Weidmann, 1913), p. 247, n. 1 (on the word καιρός, my translation):
It is just such words, with no equivalent in any other language, that teach us not only to understand Greek, but to feel in Greek.

Grade solche Wörter, die in keiner anderen Sprache ein Aequivalent haben, lehren nicht nur griechisch verstehen, sondern griechisch fühlen.
