Words such as Liddell and Scott and Thayers concentrate on the actual usage of words in contemporary and classical Greek (Thayers) and contemporary and classical Greek plus New Testament usage (Liddell and Scott).

The opposing theory says that usage (immediately before and contemporary with the usage in a work) is what defines the meaning of a word. (This in part at least is the thinking of the TDNT.) Older works used and endorsed the thinking that the etymology (which words come together to make a new word) is what defines the meaning of a word. In analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of a Greek lexicon, there is a lot to consider, and a general presumption has to be made as to what is a “good” lexicon. I would also highly recommend that you read the Usage Notes from the first and second entries in the Dictionary.

Kýrios/κύριος, – searching using Strongs Number Kýrios/κύριος , -searching dictionary for a word Little Kittel though has been edited so as to delete most of that, and leave a simple work that most laymen could understand (and most Bible students with normal Greek abilities, or no Greek abilities at all, in the style of Strong’s Lexicon perhaps).įor actual samples of articles in the dictionary, click on the image at left (a popup viewer should open) and then use the left-right arrow keys on the keyboard, or click on the far left or far right arrows on the image itself. It is a very scholarly work, and understood best “by scholars” (very educated scholars at that). The unabridged Kittel is very large, and has very long and detailed studies on each word, including a lot of linguistics, Greek, German, Latin, Hebrew, etc.

Note that there is a foundational work back to Gerhard Kittel, and thus that work is called “Big Kittels” or just “Kittel”, and there is the present work we are offering which is abridged, and called “Little Kittels”. One of the neat features about this work is that it has Strongs numbers, so those who are not proficient in the Greek language can still use the work, working off of the Strong’s Greek Numbers. This dictionary is a landmark Greek dictionary which has come to us through a lot of people and years of scholarship dedicated to making this scholarly work available.
