(Strong's #4092 — verb — pimpremi — pim'-pray-mee )

primarily, "to blow, to burn," later came to denote "to cause to swell," and, in the Middle Voice, "to become swollen," Acts 28:6 . In the Sept., Numbers 5:21,22,27 .

Note: Some, connecting the word prenes in Acts 1:18 with pimpremi, give it the meaning "swelling up:" see HEADLONG.
