STRONGS G5614:
ὡσαννά (see
WH. Introductory § 408; but
L T ὡσαννά; see
Tdf. Proleg., p. 107) (derived from Psalm 117:25 (
Ps. 118:25)
נָּא הושִׁיָעה, i. e. 'save, I pray', the
Sept. σῶσον δή; (in form the word seems to be the Greek reproduction of an abbreviated pronunciation of the Hebrew (
הושַׁע־נָא); others would make it
אושַׁעְנָא (`save us'); cf. Hilgenfeld, Evang. § Hebraeos (the old 1884 edition), p. 25 and p. 122;
Kautzsch, Gram. d. Biblical-Aram., p. 1732),
hosanna; be propitious:
Matthew 21:9;
Mark 11:9;
John 12:13; with
τῷ υἱῷ Δαυίδ added, be propitious to the Messiah,
Matthew 21:9,
15 (cf.
ὡσαννά τῷ Θεῷ Δαβίδ, '
Teaching' 10, 6 [ET] (where see Harnack's note)).
