καταντάω

Strong’s: G2658

Associated OET lemmas: καταντάω

Notes: There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions of meaning in ἐφικνέομαιφθάνω[a], καταντάω[a], and ἥκω[a], but it is not possible to determine what the distinctive features are on the basis of existing contexts.; In the case of meanings involving to attain to a state, there is obviously a change in state implied, but the focus seems to be primarily on the end point, and hence these meanings are classified in this subdomain rather than in the following subdomain.
