1: φυσίωσις

(Strong's #5450 — Noun Feminine — phusiosis — foo-see'-o-sis )

denotes "a puffing up, swelling with pride" (akin to phusioo, "to puff up"), 2 Corinthians 12:20 , "swellings."

2: ὑπέρογκος

(Strong's #5246 — Adjective — huperonkos — hoop-er'-ong-kos )

an adjective denoting "of excessive weight or size," is used metaphorically in the sense of "immoderate," especially of arrogant speech, in the neuter plural, virtually as a noun, 2 Peter 2:18; Jude 1:16 , "great swelling words," doubtless with reference to gnostic phraseology.
