Ex: A library of a million volumes could be compressed into one end of a desk.Ex: In the face of emergencies, breadth of vision tends to contract, narrowing the range of responses.Ex: The imposition of fee-based services may radically curtail the breadth of resources available to library users where historically information has been offered freely.Ex: These arrangements should also erode price differentials between Europe and the US, and permit each country to support its own online services.Ex: Prices of European produced scientific, technical and medical serials continue to gut US research libraries.Ex: Hierarchical relationships must be indicated in order that the users may broaden or narrow the search parameters.Ex: More balanced schedules were achieved by pruning the 31000 subjects enumerated in the fourteenth edition to 4700.Ex: The disadvantage of inversion of words is that inversion or indirect word order reduces predictability of form of headings.Ex: If there are holds on the title, the loan period is shortened to 14 days.Ex: Excessive emphasis on the need to exact payment will stifle the flow of information.Ex: When a forme was in place on the press stone, paper was lowered on to it by means of a tympan and frisket.Ex: But higher education, which expanded between 1959 and 1979 from 164,000 to 519,600 students in full-time higher education, has also been cutting back on purchases.Ex: 'The word's out: all departments have to cut their staffs by 10%' -- Her voice was weak and laden with woe.Ex: Abstracts cut down considerably on legwork in hunting for information.Ex: This intermediate grade would equate with the senior library assistant, a category much depleted in UK academic librarianship.Ex: Two possible solutions are possible: (1) to lessen the frequency of production, or (2) to reduce the amount of detail in the entries.Ex: He said again that we should pare it down to something much more in line with his figures.Ex: Activities such as gardening or cookery are dealt with in many books in ways which go far beyond the simple keeping down of weeds or just filling empty stomachs.Ex: In the face of overpublishing and growing scepticism, this once booming area is now retrenching and broadening its coverage = En vista del exceso de publicaciones y del creciente escepticismo, este área que una vez estuvo en auge ahora ha venido a menos.Ex: By specifying the fields to be searched, the user can narrow down the search in a very convenient way.Ex: However, such idealism is often whittled away over time by bureaucratic problems & organizational demands.Ex: The abundance of book types and titles makes display and merchandising increasingly difficult; some booksellers are dealing with this by slimming down or cutting out certain categories.Ex: However, the flight from DC appears to have slowed down more quickly than was anticipated, and we no longer read of large numbers of libraries making the change.Ex: Since cataloging is the most time consuming part of digitization, it has slowed up the placement of files.Ex: The tube in the two types tapers almost unnoticeably from base to tip.Ex: Not the least of the ironies of this venture is that going ahead with it is as full of hazard as winding it down abruptly.Ex: May I just cut you short, because I've discussed this problem with Peter Jacobs just this week.Ex: He first spotted trouble when she started being short with users and so he solved the problem by scaling back her workload.Ex: The opposite of the 'halo effect' -- downgrading someone you dislike but whose work is good -- is also an error.Ex: You can shave off as much as 50% or even more from your current rate for home insurance in Arizona.Ex: The 'false hit' problem still arises, but becomes less likely as the 'neighborhood' of the two words shrinks.Ex: They have just marked down all summer handbags to 50 percent off.* que reduce el estrés = stress-reducing.* reducir a cero = reduce to + nil.* reducir a la mitad = halve, cut in + half, halve, reduce by + half.* reducir a la nada = reduce to + nil.* reducir al mínimo = minimise [minimize, -USA], reduce to + a minimum, cut down to + a minimum, keep to + a (bare) minimum, cut to + the bone.* reducir a lo mínimo = cut to + the bone.* reducir a miniatura = miniaturise [miniaturize, -USA].* reducir costes = reduce + costs.* reducir de plantilla = downsize.* reducir de tamaño = reduce in + size.* reducir el esfuerzo = reduce + effort.* reducir el impacto = minimise + impact.* reducir el papeleo = slash + red tape.* reducir el precio = reduce + price, cut + price.* reducir el presupuesto = cut + monies from + budget.* reducir el riesgo = reduce + risk.* reducir el tamaño = reduce + size.* reducir el tiempo = cut down + time.* reducir el valor = reduce + value.* reducir gastos = cut + costs, cut + spending, make + economies, make + cuts, reduce + costs.* reducir gradualmente = scale down.* reducir la burocracia = slash + red tape.* reducir la posibilidad = minimise + possibility.* reducir la probabilidad = reduce + chances.* reducir las diferencias = bridge + the gap, bridge + the divide, bridge + the chasm, bridge + the gulf, close + the gap.* reducir las diferencias entre... y = narrow + the gap between... and.* reducir las distancias = reduce + distance, close + the gap.* reducir las posibilidades de = narrow + the vision of.* reducir los beneficios = cut + profit.* reducir los impuestos = cut + taxes.* reducir pérdidas = cut down + losses, cut + losses.* reducir progresivamente = phase out.* reducirse a = boil down to, come down to.* reducirse poco a poco = dribble off.* reducir una limitación = push + limits (further and further back).* reducir una palabra a su raíz = stem.* reducir un obstáculo = lower + barrier.* * *reducir [I6 ]vtA1 ‹gastos/costos› to cut, cut down on, reduce;

As for -( υ)γ- no convincing example inside Greek can be found ( ὄρτυξ and other birdnames are too far off), several connections have been suggested: Skt. pataṅ-g-á- `flying' (for patan- cf. petn- above; on g s. ἀστράγαλος [but this is Pre-Greek]), Av. fra-ptǝrǝǰāt- `bird' (analysis uncertain: from * ptǝrǝ-g- `wing'?), Lat. protervus `turbulent' (from *pro-pterg-u̯os?), OLFr. fetheracco gen. pl. `alarum'. -- Controversial is the connection with Slav. (OCS, Russ. etc.) peró n. `feather', which cannot be directly equated with πτερόν and perh. rather belongs to Skt. parṇám n. `wing, feather, leaf' etc. After Petersson KZ 47, 272 πτερόν would be a cross of *περόν (= Slav. peró) and πτέρυξ.
