συντελέω (suntelέō) — to complete / to finish / to end

Notes: There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions, particularly of emphasis, in the series τελέω, ἐκτελέω[a], ἀποτελέω, ἐπιτελέω[a], συντελέω[a], and τελειόω[c], but it is not possible to determine with precision the particular distinctions on the basis of existing contexts, though possibly ἐκτελέω and ἀποτελέω emphasize more finality, while ἐπιτελέω[a] may focus upon the resulting purpose.
