Strong’s Greek Lexicon

from a primary but obsolete verb νυπτω nupto (to veil as a bride; compare Latin “nupto,” to marry); a young married woman (as veiled), including a bethrothed girl; by implication a son’s wife:—bride, daughter in law.

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.
