    -2 (In gram. and Mīm.) Property considered as the meaning of a class of words; e. g. grammarians recognise four kinds of the meaning of words; जाति, गुण, किया and द्रव्य, and give गौः, शुक्लः, चलः and डित्थः as in- stances to illustrate these meanings.

    a person who tries to please simultaneously two persons, groups etc with opposite viewpoints, goals etc
    servant of two masters.
    По какому-то неопределимому признаку Юрий Андреевич вообразил, что Комаровский завёл в эту минуту речь именно о нем... в том духе, что он человек ненадёжный («слуга двух господ» - почудилось Юрию Андреевичу), что неизвестно, кто ему дороже, семья или Л ара, и что Ларе нельзя на него положиться... (Пастернак 1). Something made Yurii Andreievich feel that just then Komarovsky was speaking about him, saying something to the effect that he should not be trusted ("serving two masters," he thought he heard), that it was impossible to tell if he were more attached to Lara or to his family, that Lara must not rely on him... (1a).
    The title of the Russian translation of Carlo Goldoni s play // servitore di due padroni, 1745

    ⇒ a person who tries to please simultaneously two persons, groups etc with opposite viewpoints, goals etc:
    - servant of two masters.
         ♦ По какому-то неопределимому признаку Юрий Андреевич вообразил, что Комаровский завёл в эту минуту речь именно о нем... в том духе, что он человек ненадёжный ("слуга двух господ" - почудилось Юрию Андреевичу), что неизвестно, кто ему дороже, семья или Лара, и что Ларе нельзя на него положиться... (Пастернак 1). Something made Yurii Andreievich feel that just then Komarovsky was speaking about him, saying something to the effect that he should not be trusted ("serving two masters," he thought he heard), that it was impossible to tell if he were more attached to Lara or to his family, that Lara must not rely on him... (1a).
    —————
    ← The title of the Russian translation of Carlo Goldoni s play || servitore di due padroni, 1745; of Biblical origin (Matt. 6:24, Luke 16:13).

  • 97 albus

    albus, a, um, adj. [cf. Umbr. alfu and Sab. alpus = white; alphos = white rash; O. H. Germ. Elbiz = a swan; to this have been referred also Alba Longa, Albunea, Alpes from their snowy summits (Paul. ex Fest. p. 4 Müll.), Albion from its chalky cliffs, Alpheios, and Albis = Elbe], white (properly dead white, not shining; e. g. hair, complexion, garments, etc., opp. ater, black that is without lustre; while candidus denotes a glistening, dazzling white, opp. niger, shining black.—Hence, trop., albus and ater, a symbol of good or ill fortune; on the other hand, candidus and niger of moral worth or unworthiness; cf. Doed. Syn. III. 193 sq.—So Serv. ad Verg. G. 3, 82: aliud est candidum, i. e. quādam nitenti luce perfusum esse; aliud album, quod pallori constat esse vicinum; cf. Verg. E. 7, 38: Candidior cycnis, hederā formosior albā, with id. ib. 3, 39: diffusos hederā vestit pallente corymbos; but this distinction is freq. disregarded by the poets).

    v. calculus).— Hence, trop.: alicui rei album calculum adicere,

    to allow, approve of, authorize, Plin. Ep. 1, 2, 5.—In Enn. an epithet of the sun and moon: sol, Enn. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 48, 107 (Ann. v. 92 Vahl.): jubar Hyperionis, Enn. ap. Prisc. p. 658 P.
