Dear Pere,



Can you define the difference between "small" and "little"?

In Gn 30:30 we have M(+, little (adjective singular, male)

In Gn 44:20 we have Q+N, small (adjective singular, male)



I'm looking for the contact points and the differences between the meaning
of these two adjectives.



M(+ is also used as an adverb, I know (cf Ps 8:6). But now and here my
interest is not on M(+ as an adverb.



My question is: in which aspect or sense they are the same thing (as regards
their true and real meaning) and in which aspect or sense they are
different?
