Quick Definition
ἀνακύπτω v. I raise myself, look up
Strong's Definition
to unbend, i.e. rise; figuratively, be elated
Derivation: from G303 (ἀνά) (in the sense of reversal) and G2955 (κύπτω);
KJV Usage: lift up, look up
UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
verb | κύπτω
1 It is possible that ἀνακύπτω differs to some extent in meaning from ἀνορθόω[b] in that the focus of ἀνακύπτω is upon the reversal of a process. This is linguistically possible since ἀνα may mean not only up but also may refer to the reversal of an event, for example, ἀνάγω to restore and ἀνακαλύπτω to uncover.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνακύπτω. P Par 47 (ὦ. B.c. 153) (= Selections, p. 23), a very grandiloquent but ill-spelt letter, will illustrate Lk 21°: οὐκ ἔστι ἀνακύψα (/. -κύψαι) πόποτε ἐν τῇ Τρικομίαι ὑπὸ τῆς αἰσχύνης, ‘it is not possible ever to look up again in Tricomia for very shame.” It appears also in P Ryl I. 28% (iv/A.D.), on omens drawn from twitching—one sort portends that the man ‘‘ will suffer loss fora time and will emerge again from his troubles” (Ed.—ék τῶν κακῶν ἀνακύψει).
