STRONGS G376:
ἀνάπηρος,
-ον, (properly,
πηρός from the lowest part to the highest —
ἀνά; hence, Suidas
ὁ καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν πεπηρωμένος [cf.
Lob. Path. Elementa 1:195]),
disabled in the limbs, maimed, crippled; injured in, or bereft of, some member of the body:
Luke 14:13,
21 ἀναπήρους,
χωλούς,
τυφλούς. In both these passages
L Tr WH have adopted with certain manuscripts the spelling
ἀναπείρους — manifestly false, as arising from itacism.
(Plato, Crito, p. 53 a.
χωλοὶ καὶ τυφλοὶ καὶ ἄλλοι ἀνάπηροι; Aristotle, h. a. 7, 6 [vol. i., p. 585
b, 29]
γινονται ἐξ ἀναπήρων ἀνάπηροι; Lysias quoted in Suidas
ῥῖνα καὶ ὦτα ἀνάπηρος; 2 Macc. 8:24
τοῖς μέλεσιν ἀναπήρους.)

ἀνάπειρος, a false spelling (arising from itacism, [cf. Phrynichus in
Bekker, Anecd. i. p. 9, 22:
διὰ τοῦ η τὴν τρίτην,
οὐ διὰ τῆς ει διϕθόγγσυ ὡς οἱ ἀμαθεῖς]) in some manuscripts in
Luke 14:13,
21 (and adopted by
L Tr WH; [see WH. App. p. 151]) for
ἀνάπηρος, which see.
