Strong’s Greek Lexicon

probably from the base of G1097; the intellect, i.e. mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication meaning:—mind, understanding. Compare G5590.

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.
