         Comments: ἐπαφρίζω occurs in the NT only in {S:06500101300008} in a figurative context. It probably differs from {L:ἀφρίζω} ({D:14.28}) in emphasizing the greater degree or extent of foam on the surface.|In some languages the type of foam which would be referred to in {S:06500101300008} is called ‘the saliva of the waves’ or ‘the whiteness of the waves.’ Since foaming at the mouth is also regarded as a sign of anger, it is possible to speak in some languages of the foam of the waves as being ‘the anger of the waves.’ In other languages one may speak simply of ‘the whiteness of the waves.’
