ῥαφίδος [2 verses](noun sg fem gen) "Needle" is rhaphis, which means "needle." It is more of a surgeon's needle than a sewing needle.  - "Needle" is translated from a Greek word that means "needle." A different word for the needle is used in Luke 18:25 but the same word is used in Mark.

ῥαπίζει [1 verse](3rd sg pres ind act) "Smite" is rhapizo, which means "hit with a stick", "cudgel", "thrash", "to slap a face," generally, "to strike" or "to beat." -- The Greek word translated as "smite" primary meaning is much more violent. It means "to beat with a stick", "to cudgel," and "to thrash." When referring to striking a "cheek," or more accurately, a "jaw," "sock" would be the word we typically use in English. The KJV is closer to the sense of this word than other versions which translate it as the milder "slap."

ῥήξωσιν [4 verses](3rd pl aor subj act) "Break" is rhegnumi, which means to "break asunder", "rend", "shatter", "break through," and, in the passive, to "break", "break asunder", "burst," "break forth". -- The word translated as "break" means to "burst" or "break through".

ῥῆμα [10 verses](noun sg neut acc) "Word" is rhema, which means "that which is spoken," "word," "saying," "word for word," "subject of speech," and "matter." This is not the word usually mistranslated as "word," which is logos that means "logic," "idea," or "message." -- (CW) The Greek word translated as "words" is not the common word meaning "idea" that is mistranslated as "words" in the Bible. Nor is it the Greek word for "words." It is another word that specifically means "what is spoken." This is the root word for the English word "remarks" and "remarks" that captures this concept well. - CW --Confusing Word -- The "words" is not the common word usually translated as "words."

ῥεύσουσιν [1 verse](3rd pl aor subj act) "Shall flow" is rheo, which means "to flow", "to gush," "to stream", "to run", "to fall", "to drop off", "to liquefy", "to be in a state of perpetual flux and change," [of persons] "to be inclined," [of a ship] "to leak," and "to have a flux." Or rheo, meaning Ot flow" but also "to utter," and "to speak."  Jesus may use it to mean "gush" in the sense we use it to "talk." -- This word means "to flow
 and "to utter."

ἔρριπται   [1 verse](verb 3rd sg perf ind mp ) "He cast" is rhiptō, which means to " throw", "cast", ahd " hurl". -- "He cast" is another unique verb for Jesus to use that means to " throw", "cast", and " hurl". This word is strange for many reasons. First, one of Jesus's favorite words means "cast" but in a more humorous sense. That word is used in the Mark version. Second, the tense is something completed in the past when the hanging of the stone is in the present.  We also saw this difference in tenses in Mark, even those a different "cast" was used. In Matthew, which uses a word meaning "drowned" here, the tenses of both words is past. Finally, as in Mark, this word is either passive of the middle acts on himself. "He has hurled himself".

ῥίζαν [5 verses](noun sg fem acc) "Root" is rhiza, which means "root" and anything that springs from a root. It includes the roots of hairs, feathers, and teeth.
