Menander, Monostichoi, 260

English (Strong)

a primitive root (identical with עָרַף through the idea of sloping); properly, to bend downward; but used only as a denominative from עֹ֫רֶף, to break the neck; hence (figuratively) to destroy: that is beheaded, break down, break (cut off, strike off) neck.
a primitive root; to droop; hence, to drip: drop (down).
