Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from an obsolete particle νη- ne- (implying negation) and G2031; not speaking, i.e. an infant (minor); figuratively, a simple-minded person, an immature Christian:—babe, child (+- ish).
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.
