Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
†λαμά lamá, lam-ah'; of Hebrew origin (H4100 with prepositional prefix); lama (i.e. why):—lama.
STRONGS G2982:
λαμά (R G (on the accent see Tdf. Proleg. 102)) in Matthew 27:46 and λαμμᾶ (R G) Mark 15:34 (the Hebrew word לָמָּה from Psalm 21:1 (Ps. 22:1)), why; in the former passage Lachmann reads λῆμα, in the latter λεμα, Tdf. λεμα in both, Tr WH λεμα in Matt. but λαμά in Mark; the form in ἤ or ἐ reproduces the Chaldean לְמָא or לְמָה; on the remarkable diversity of spelling in the manuscripts cf. Tdf. on each passage (WH on Matthew, the passage cited), and Fritzsche on Mark, p. 693.
