4.20 · Animals · Animals

of a goat (derivative of αἴξ ‘goat,’ not occurring in the NT) pertaining to or consisting of a goat (smaller domesticated four-footed animal with hooves; genus Capra; source of meat, milk, hides, hair, and horns)

HEB 11:37

1 The base of αἴγειος (namely, αἴξ ‘goat’) is essentially the same in meaning as that of ἔριφος and ἐρίφιον (4.19). The derivative suffix simply makes possible the use of this term in different syntactic constructions.
