Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G5235; a throwing beyond others, i.e. (figuratively) supereminence; adverbially (with G1519 or G2596) pre-eminently:—abundance, (far more) exceeding, excellency, more excellent, beyond (out of) measure.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
