    DefinitionShort: to groan or sigh as the result of deep concern or stress
    Glosses: ['to groan', 'to sigh', 'groan', 'sigh']
    Comments: To groan or to sigh may be the result of quite different circumstances, and in a number of languages a clear distinction must be made in any term for groaning or sighing, depending upon the reason or basis for such an expression of emotion. In {S:04100703400012} the sigh or groan would seem to be an expression of sympathy for the deaf-mute, but in {S:04100703400012} the groans would be caused by severe misery and oppression.

    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:στενάζω}[a] ‘to groan, to sigh,’ {D:25.143}) to complain in an intensive and excessive manner
    Glosses: to complain strongly
    Comments: It may even be possible to retain something of the figurative meaning of στενάζω in {S:05900500900004} by translating ‘do not complain with moaning’ or ‘do not moan and complain against.’
