ἐρεύγομαι [in LXX chiefly for שָׁאַג, Hos.11:10, Amo.3:4, 8 al; also for נָבַע, Psa.19:2, etc;] 1) to spit or spue out. 2) Prop, of oxen (Hom.), to bellow, roar; whence, as in LXX,
to speak aloud, utter: Mat.13:35 (LXX). (For other examples of softened force of words in late Gk, cf. σκύλλω, τρώγω, χορτάζω.) (
