My husband and I are under the impression that "κλήρος" means "clergy." See also [[:el:Κατηγορία:Κλήρος|Category:Clergy]] on the Greek OrthodoxWiki. He recognized the word from the [[Great Litany|litany]]: "...for all the ''Clergy'' and the Laity..." which in Greek is "...παντὸς τοῦ ''Κλήρου'' καὶ τοῦ Λαοῦ..." Is this the same word, but an alternate definition? —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 15:44, February 15, 2008 (PST)
:Now that you mention it - whenever I hear a reference to the chanter's stand, it's usually 'psaltiri' (don't know the Greek spelling) or, less commonly, 'κληρός' (kliros, with emphasis on second syllable). Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the language could weigh in? (I personally stick with 'chanters stand'...) — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="green">Pιs</font><font color="gold">τévο</font>]] <sup>''[[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="blue">talk</font>]]'' ''[[User talk:Pistevo/dev/null|<font color="red">complaints</font>]]''</sup> at 16:15, February 15, 2008 (PST)
