Strong’s Greek Lexicon
a primary verb (properly, θρεφω threpho; but perhaps strengthened from the base of G5157 through the idea of convolution); properly, to stiffen, i.e. fatten (by implication, to cherish [with food, etc.], pamper, rear):—bring up, feed, nourish.
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.
