Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of a derivative of G1364 and a derivative of τεμνω temno (to cut); to bisect, i.e. (by extension) to flog severely:—cut asunder (in sunder).
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.
