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.
