λεῖμμα leimma
remnant · remainder
Team definition
A noun from λείπω, meaning what is left: a remnant or remainder. In the New Testament it occurs only at Rom 11:5, λεῖμμα κατ' ἐκλογὴν χάριτος, of a remnant that has come to be. A related spelling λίμμα is noted for the Westcott–Hort text in the Abbott-Smith entry; that is a spelling difference, not a different word.
