#04496

ῥίπτω

rhíptō

Sounds like hrip'•to

To fling (properly, with a quick toss, thus differing from #00906 (βάλλω / bállō), which denotes a deliberate hurl; and from (see in #01614 (ἐκτείνω / ekteínō)), which indicates an extended projection); by qualification, to deposit (as if a load); by extension, to disperse.

Derived a primary verb (perhaps rather akin to the base of #04474 (ῥαπίζω / rhapízō), through the idea of sudden motion).
