ἀποφεύγω

Notes: It is possible that ἐκφεύγω[b] and ἀποφεύγω differ somewhat in meaning from φεύγω[b] and from each other, but it is not possible to determine from existing contexts what the distinctive features might be, except perhaps to indicate that ἐκφεύγω[b] and ἀποφεύγω may be connotatively somewhat more emphatic than φεύγω[b]. Note, also, that in this series of terms meaning to escape, there is no special indication of movement, but simply the fact of not having to experience some particular difficulty or danger.
