- נָכָה nâkâh · H5221 · to hit, to beat, to strike
- The common Hebrew verb for 'to strike' or 'to smite,' which is the standard translation equivalent for the action of striking that κεφαλαιόω denotes, though נָכָה is not restricted to striking the head specifically.
- מָחַץ mâchats · H4272 · to strike, to smash, to crush
- A Hebrew verb meaning 'to smash' or 'to wound by striking,' often used for striking the head specifically (e.g., Judg 5:26, Ps 68:21), making it a closer semantic equivalent to the head-striking sense of κεφαλαιόω.

Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon κεφαλαιω: 1 aorist ἐκεφαλαιωσα (T WH ἐκεφαλιωσα (see below)); (κεφάλαιον); 1. to bring…
1. to bring under heads, to sum up, to summarize (Thucydides, Aristotle, others).
2. in an unusual sense, to smite or wound in the head: Mk 12:4. It is of no use to appeal to the analogy of the verb γναθόω, which means εἰς γναθους τύπτω to smite on the cheek, since κεφαλαισον is nowhere used of the head of the body. Tdf. (WH) (after manuscripts א B L) have adopted ἐκεφαλίωσαν (from κεφάλιον, equivalent to κεφαλίς, which see). But neither κεφαλιόω nor κεφαλίζω has yet been noted in any Greek authority. Cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 95. (Compare: ανα(κεφαλαιόω.)
