- Greek verb denoting falling upon or striking against; shares the directional prefix προς- and can describe violent impact (Mark 3:11 uses it of spirits falling before Jesus; Acts 16:29 of rushing in), overlapping with προσρήγνυμι's sense of forceful collision, though προσπίπτω is broader and can include non-violent falling.
- προσκόπτω proskóptō · G4350 · to strike against, to stumble
- Greek verb for striking or stumbling against something; shares the προς- directional element and the notion of impact, though typically denotes stumbling or striking one's foot rather than the violent bursting of storms/floods characteristic of προσρήγνυμι.
