Definitions
adj
Relating to the island of Lesvos (Lesbos) in Greece.
Since Lesvos is mainly a mountainous area and sometimes lacks sufficient water, the Lesvian agriculture is characterised by terrace-cultivation.
For example, in a discussion of the Lesvian dialect of Greek which is otherwise devoted to documenting Paradigm Uniformity effects, Gafos and Ralli mention that the usual rule of unstressed high vowel deletion fails to apply when the deletion would result in a loss of morphological information.
noun
An inhabitant or a resident of Lesvos (Lesbos).
Mytilini, or Lesvos, as it is often called, is a large Greek lisland in a gulf formed by the Turkish coast in the northern corner of the Aegean Sea. Local residents refer to themselves as "Lesvians".
Among the Lesvians, Hjalmar Dahm and Georgios Sitaras offered invaluable logistical assistance and field help.
