Strong’s Greek Lexicon
apparently a primary verb (properly, θρεχω threcho; compare G2359); which uses δρεμω dremo drem’-o (the base of G1408) as alternate in certain tenses; to run or walk hastily (literally or figuratively):—have course, run.
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.
