Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a derivative of a primary ρεπω rhepo (to let fall, “rap”); to slap:—smite (with the palm of the hand). Compare G5180.
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.
