Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from ειλη heile (the sun’s ray) and G2919; judged by sunlight, i.e. tested as genuine (figuratively):—pure, sincere.
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.
