Strong's Lexicon enneuó: To nod, to signal, to make a sign Original Word: ἐννεύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "at") and the verb "νεύω" (neuó, meaning "to nod" or "to signal"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "enneuó," the concept of non-verbal signaling can be seen in Hebrew words like "רָמַז" (ramaz, Strong's Hebrew 7321), which means to hint or signal. Usage: The verb "enneuó" is used to describe the act of making a non-verbal signal, often through a nod or gesture. It implies communication without words, typically to convey a message or instruction discreetly. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, non-verbal communication was a common and important aspect of interaction. Gestures and signals were often used in situations where verbal communication was impractical or undesirable, such as in crowded settings or when discretion was needed. This practice is reflected in various Greek writings and is evident in the New Testament context as well.
