28.81 · Know · Not Able To Be Known, Secret
to keep secret, to hide, to conceal to cause something to remain unknown by means of purposeful concealment
1 It is not easy to distinguish clearly between ἀποκρύπτω (28.80) and συγκαλύπτω (28.81), but ἀποκρύπτω, particularly in passive forms, may imply concealment on the basis of the nature of the object itself, while συγκαλύπτω would appear, at least in certain contexts, to imply a greater measure of intent or purpose.
