The sworn


Explanation:
Το λεξικό του Μπαμπινιώτη γράφει ότι "ο ομνύων" σημαίνει ο άνθρωπος "που δίνει όρκο ή που παρέχει ένορκη διαβεβαίωση ή που παίρνει όρκο". Η λέξη “affiant” σημαίνει "άτομο που παρέχει ένορκη διαβεβαίωση", και δεν πιστεύω ότι ταιριάζει σε αυτή τη περίπτωση. Συνεπώς, προτείνω “the sworn” που σύμφωνα με το δεύτερο τόμο του Shorter Oxford English Dictionary σημαίνει "the person who has taken or is bound by an oath”.

agree  transphy: I am seconding you. How cruel of you, good Sir. "κουρδιστήρι". I thought I was killing two birds with one stone. However, 'variety is he spice of life.' Or, as in this case, 'six of one half a dozen of the other'. With 2 words you get 16 cents!!!

neutral  Peter Close: I had thought of this alternative, too, and been very tempted to put it, but I thought that I was only allowed to suggest one answer to the question. In future, if I am torn between which answer to give, I will give both!

  -> To be honest, your answer gave me the courage to write mine, because I was in doubt. I am still in doubt but the asker will make finally her decision. May it be the best one! ;)
agree  transphy: I'll do it for you, Peter. I consider this a better term, however.

  -> Thanks transphy! I could not understand what you were saying about κουρδιστήρια until I saw the question!
