Strong’s Greek Lexicon
middle voice of apparently a prolonged form of an obsolete primary [compare G3735]; to stretch oneself, i.e. reach out after (long for):—covet after, desire.
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.
