Cross References

Strong's Original Transliteration Derivation Definition KJV Renderings
G4441 πυνθάνομαι pynthánomai middle voice prolonged from a primary πύθω (pýthō) (which occurs only as an alternate in certain tenses) to question, i.e. ascertain by inquiry (as a matter of information merely; and thus differing from G2065, which properly means a request as a favor; and from G154, which is strictly a demand for something due; as well as from G2212, which implies a search for something hidden; and from G1189, which involves the idea of urgent need); by implication, to learn (by casual intelligence) ask, demand, enquire, understand

Sources. The definition, derivation and KJV renderings are James Strong's own wording from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (1890) — public domain. The numbered senses and the Hebrew–Greek cross-references are the editorial work of the OpenScriptures Strong's dictionary, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0; their sense-outline conventions match the Outline of Biblical Usage (Online Bible, Larry Pierce), noted as a convention match rather than a documented claim.
