Collocation: δὶς ἀποθάνων
completely dead (an idiom, literally: dying twice) the state of being completely dead The phrase δὶς ἀποθανόντα in JUD 1:12 refers specifically to trees, but figuratively to persons. It is possible that δὶς ἀποθανόντα is applicable to trees (1) on the basis that they die while still standing and (2) that death is fully confirmed by their being rooted up, but in view of the figurative context, it is better to translate δὶς ἀποθανόντα as simply ‘completely dead.’
noun, f. | -άδος | δύο + μυρίος
60.9 · Number · Number, Countless
countless, incalculable, great number of an indefinitely large number (even greater than μυριάς[b], 60.8) Though it is possible to understand δισμυριάδες μυριάδων in REV 9:16 as meaning ‘two hundred million’ (literally ‘twenty thousand times ten thousand’), the evident intent of the text is to emphasize the extreme number rather than to specify some large quantity.
