Senses in use
-
Cloth used for wrapping or keeping · dominant
The singular forms occur where a face is wrapped, a head covering is set apart, and a mina is kept laid away. In John 11:44 the APB renders the face as wrapped with a "handkerchief"; in John 20:7 it describes the cloth that had been on the head; and in Luke 19:20 it renders the mina as kept in a "handkerchief."
-
Cloths carried to the sick · rare
The plural form occurs in the account of cloths that had touched a person's skin and were carried away to the sick. In Acts 19:12 the APB renders the items as "cloths or aprons," so the precise English correspondence is read at the verse level.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "handkerchief" in John 11:44, John 20:7, and Luke 19:20, while Acts 19:12 has "cloths or aprons." These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than define each form separately.
