ὀδυρμός

Strong’s: G3602

Associated OET lemmas: ὀδυρμός

Notes: ὀδυρμός (52.3: ὀδυρμός) apparently differs in meaning from θρηνέω[c] (52.2: θρηνέω) in being less institutionalized and focusing somewhat more upon the wailing at funerals, while θρηνέω[b] denotes the singing of a dirge (see 33.115: θρηνέω). See also 33.116: θρῆνος and 25.141: θρηνέω. The meanings in Domain 52 differ in that they reflect ritualized wailing.
