1 As in the case of βέβαιος[c] (28.43), βέβαιοω[b] (28.43), and βεβαίωσις (28.44), there are two distinct sets of semantic features in the series ἔνδειξις, ἔνδειγμα, and ἀπόδειξις. The element of showing or demonstrating implies clearly making something known, but that which is made known is done in a clear, convincing, and confirming manner and therefore shown to be certain or true. This double set of semantic features is contained in such terms as proof, evidence and confirmation.
