Abbott-Smith Greek Lexicon

*† ἀν -έλεος , -ον ( Attic ἀνηλεής , ἀνελεήμων ; MM , VGT , s.v. ), merciless: Jas_2:13 .† ἀν -ίλεως , -ων , see ἀνέλεος .

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνέλεος (~ ἀνίλεως ) [page 41] This remade form in Jas_2:13 may be illustrated from P Lips I. 39 .12 (A.D. 390) τύψας με [ἀν ]ελεῶς though, of course, thus accented, it comes from ἀνελεής . Whether this last is any better Attic than ἀνέλεος may, however, be questioned, unless we postulate it as the alternative to νηλεής , from which the Attic ἀνηλεής came by mixture. But the solitary grammarian whom Lobeck ( Phryn. , p. 710 f.) quotes for it is not very solid ground.

Liddell-Scott — Intermediate Greek Lexicon

ἀνίλεως "unmerciful", NTest.

STEPBible — Tyndale Abridged Greek Lexicon

ἀν-έλεος, -ον (Attic ἀνηλεής, ἀνελεήμων; MM, VGT, see word), merciless: Jas.2:13.† (AS)
