signifies "to throw over a precipice" (kata, "down," kremnos, "a steep bank," etc.), said of the purpose of the people of Nazareth to destroy Christ, Luke 4:29 .

an adjective denoting "headlong, prone," is used with the verb ginomai, "to become," in Acts 1:18 , of the death of Judas, "falling headlong;" various suggestions have been made as to the actual details; some ascribe to the word the meaning "swelling up."
