Strong's Greek Dictionary (1890) says these words are built from one another, all going back to ἀντί anti (G0473). Each line says which source links it. Words with a prefix are listed with their main word, not with the prefix. Related words can still differ in meaning.
- ἀντί anti G0473 “instead of, for” head of this family (per Strong's: a primary word) in 20 verses
- ἄνωθεν anōthen G0509 “from above, from the beginning, again” built from ἄνω G0507 (per Strong's) · Abbott-Smith agrees in 13 verses
- ἄνω anō G0507 “up, above, things above, heaven” built from ἀντί G0473 (per Strong's) in 10 verses
- ὑπεράνω huperanō G5231 “far above” built from ὑπέρ G5228 + ἄνω G0507 (per Strong's) in 3 verses
- ἀνώτερος anōteros G0511 “higher, to a more honorable place, previously, above” built from ἄνω G0507 (per Strong's) in 2 verses
- ἀντικρύ antikru G0481 “right opposite, over against” built from ἀντί G0473 (per Strong's) in 1 verse
- ἀνωτερικός anōterikos G0510 “upper, higher-lying” built from ἀνώτερος G0511 (per Strong's) · Abbott-Smith agrees in 1 verse
Built from ἐπί epi G1909 + ἄνω anō G0507 (per Strong's). The first part is a prefix (a preposition or a short prefix such as “un-”), so the word is listed with the family of the last part only, never with the prefix.
