- ἐπιφαίνω epiphaínō · G2014 · to illuminate, to shine upon, to appear
- Both describe the action of giving light or illumination, though ἐπιφαίνω encompasses both literal shining and figurative manifestation while ἐπιφαύω appears restricted to figurative illumination in its attested New Testament usage.
