Lexicon : furnish, accomplish, fill, supply Original Word: πλήθωPart of Speech: Verb Phonetic Spelling: (play'-tho) Short Definition: I fill Definition: I fill, fulfill, complete. HELPS word-Studies 4130 plḗthō (or pimplēmi) – properly, fill to the maximum (full extent), "the limit" (CBL). 4130 /plḗthō ("full") implies "filled to one's (individual) capacity." [This root (plē-) expresses totality, and implies full quantity ("up to the max"). DNTT (1,733) notes its cognates (plērēs, plēroō, plērōma) all come from the root (plē-/plēthō) meaning "full in quantity." Thus 4130 /plḗthō ("to fill or complete") refers to "that which is complete in itself because of plentitude, entire number or quantity. . . . the whole aggregate," WS, 395,96). 4130 (plēthō) may be a by-form derived from the same root as pimplēmi. All these terms (cognates) emphasize the idea of "maximum (full extent)."] Thayer's STRONGS NT 4130: πίμπλημιπίμπλημι; (a lengthened form of the theme ΠΛΑΩ, whence πλέος, πλήρης (cf.
