Glued Linen Armour- a simple test

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Kineas,if you find any text that speaks of both "opla" AND arms i need to see it,because i wonder what would then be the word for "arms". Oplo till today means weapon. Its original early meaning as "tool" also suggests it then refered to weapons and then,metaphorically, and especially when used in plural,in the wholepanoply and every item in it. After all, for panoply there is also the wod "panoplia" which means literally "all weapons". Panoplia though can mean only the defensve equipment, since one can say "opla an panoplia". It sure is a loose term as you see, but oplon is the weapon.
If you ever come across that reference you remember about opla and "arms" please bother to post it because it would be very interesting. Actually,if it was ever usedm,the it would suggest the oposite,that opla means the defencive equipment,for which i have many doubts.
