[Meaning] a segment of speech composed out of two or more parts; for the syllables¹ and the "limbs" (kôla) of meaning are divided up.
So a 'clause' [is] a verse that has a detached meaning.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κῶλον· μόριον λόγου ἐκ δύο ἢ καὶ πλειόνων μερῶν συνιστάμενον· τὰς συλλαβὰς γὰρ τέμνουσι καὶ τὰ κῶλα τῶν νοημάτων. Κῶλος οὖν ὁ ἀπηρτισμένην ἔχων ἔννοιαν στίχος.
