about meizon

Meizon
greater, larger, elder, stronger

My dictionary says: Î¼ÎµÎ¹Î¶ÏÎ½, Compar. of Î¼ÎµÎ³Î±Ï (meizon, comparative of megas).

So it is the word 'megas' that should be studied here. Everyone sees that our word 'mega' comes from this word. I have no idea yet how often this word was used to mean 'old' so that meizon, in the sense of elder, could be its comparative form. It would not matter if the word was used in this sense only seldom, because the same was true with 'teleio'.

But even if mega would mean old sometimes, and meizon older, how would you attach the "phile" to a comparative? Just wondering.

Dissident, coining such terms can take time, so let's be patient!
