ῥήγνυμι

rhegnumi (rhayg'-noo-mee) (or rhesso rhace'-so) v.
1. to "break," "wreck" or "crack"
2. (especially) to sunder (by separation of the parts) or disrupt, lacerate
3. (by implication) to convulse (with spasms)
4. (figuratively) to give vent to joyful emotions
{G2608 being its intensive (with the preposition in composition), and G2352 a shattering to minute fragments, but not a reduction to the constituent particles, like G3089}
[prolonged forms of rheko (which appears only in certain forms, and is itself probably a strengthened form of agnumi (see in G2608))]
