Strong’s Greek Lexicon

middle voice from G5259 and G2919; to decide (speak or act) under a false part, i.e. (figuratively) dissemble (pretend):—feign.

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.
