- אַף (ʼaph, H639) denotes the physical manifestation and seat of anger (nose/nostrils, with anger conceptualized as breathing/flaring), whereas θυμόω (thymóō, G2373) denotes the causative action of provoking someone into a state of rage or passionate anger.
- אָנַף ʼânaph · H599 · to be angry, to become angry
