Near synonyms 1 word

κῦμα kŷma · G2949 · wave, billow, surge: Both terms denote waves or surges of the sea, sharing the same narrow sense. The distinction between a surging motion and a breaking or toppling aspect reflects a genuine, real aspectual nuance between the two words for a sea-wave, not an invented separate referent.
