Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It may very well be that θύελλα and λαῖλαψ differ somewhat with respect to the suddenness of wind or the force of the wind. In certain contexts outside of the NT, λαῖλαψ would appear to be a somewhat stronger wind than θύελλα, but this is by no means certain, and for the NT there is no way to determine whether such a distinction is relevant.'}

         DefinitionShort: sudden and violent gusts of winds, often from varied directions{N:001}

         Glosses: ['windstorm', 'whirlwind', 'squall']

         Comments: In a number of languages a strong wind which causes the waves or a storm on water must be referred to by a special term. Compare, for example, the English term squall; this would mean a wind of relatively short duration but sufficiently intense so as to create relatively high waves.
