Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from ελη hele (a ray; perhaps akin to the alternate of G138); the sun; by implication, light:— + east, sun.
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.
