from <5384>; to be a friend to (fond of [an individual or an object]), i.e. have affection for (denoting personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while <0025> is wider, embracing especially the judgment and the deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety: the two thus stand related very much as <2309> and <1014>, or as <2372> and <3563> respectively; the former being chiefly of the heart and the latter of the head); specifically, to kiss (as a mark of tenderness):-kiss, love.

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.
