Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a primary verb αγχω agcho (to squeeze or throttle; akin to the base of G43); near (literally or figuratively, of place or time):—from, at hand, near, nigh (at hand, unto), ready.
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.
