Strong's Lexicon kammuó: To close, shut Original Word: καμμύω NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origincontr. of the comp. of kata and muó (to shut the eyes) Definition to shut the eyes NASB Translation closed (2). Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 2576: καμμύωκαμμύω, a form which passed over from the epic (cf. Homer batrach. 191) and common language (Apoll. Dysc. synt. 323, 22; 326, 9) into the Alexandrian and decaying Greek; condemned by Phryn. (as below); derived by syncope and assimilation from καταμύω (which the earlier and more elegant Greeks use) (cf. καμμέν, καμμονη, κάμμορος, from κατά μέν, καταμονη, καταμορος, cf.
