    DefinitionShort: to be in a state of hunger, without any implications of particular contributing circumstances
    Glosses: ['to be hungry', 'to have hunger']
    Comments: Hunger is often spoken of in an idiomatic manner, for example, ‘my stomach is crying,’ ‘my throat has been cut’ (implying that one has not been able to swallow food for a long time), or ‘my stomach is a deep hole.’

    DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of {L:πεινάω} ‘to hunger,’ {D:23.29}) to have a strong desire to attain some goal, with the implication of an existing lack
    Glosses: to desire strongly
    Comments: In {S:04000500600006} the two terms διψάω and πεινάω mutually reinforce the meaning of great desire.
