λικμάω,
λικμῷ: future
λικμήσω; (
λιμός a winnowing-van);
1. to winnow, cleanse away the chaff from grain by winnowing (
Homer,
Xenophon,
Plutarch, others; the
Sept.).
2. in a sense unknown to secular authors,
to scatter (opposed to
συνάγω,
Jeremiah 31:10 (or Jeremiah 38); add, Isaiah 17:13; Amos 9:9).
3. to crush to pieces, grind to powder: τινα, Matthew 21:44 (R G L brackets WH brackets); Luke 20:18; cf. Daniel 2:44 (Theod.); Wis. 11:19 (18). (But in Daniel, the passage cited it represents the Aphel of סוּף,finem facere, and on Sap. l. c. see Grimm. Many decline to follow the rendering of the Vulg. (conterere, comminuere), but refer the examples under this head to the preceding.)
