Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of G575 and G5258; properly, to become awake, i.e. (by implication) to drop (off) in slumber:—fall asleep.
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.
