[1] Literally "much". The word is translated here in a manner appropriate to the use of the headword as an affirmative expletive in Plato's Republic, from the scholia to which some of the following commentary derives: see further below, note 3. "Much" (panu/) by itself is rarely used for this purpose, although it does play a part in affirmative phrases such as panu/ ge.
