ῥήγνυμι

rhegnumi

hrayg'-noo-mee

Verb

both prolonged forms of rheko (which appears only in certain forms, and is itself probably a strengthened form of agnumi (see in G2608)) to "break," "wreck" or "crack", i.e. (especially) to sunder (by separation of the parts; G2608 being its intensive (with the preposition in composition), and G2352 a shattering to minute fragments; but not a reduction to the constituent particles, like G3089) or disrupt, lacerate; by implication, to convulse (with spasms); figuratively, to give vent to joyful emotions:--break (forth), burst, rend, tear.

  1. to rend, burst or break asunder, break up, break through
    1. to tear in pieces
    2. to break forth
      1. into joy, of infants or dumb persons beginning to speak
    3. to distort, convulse
      1. of a demon causing convulsions in a man possessed
      2. to dash down, hurl to the ground (a common occurrence in cases of demon possession and epilepsy)
