HELPS Word-studies
4007 per (an emphatic particle derived from 4012 /perí, "concerning, all about") – fully concerning; wholly, very, really – literally "all-around" the whole perimeter; (figuratively) to the limit, beyond what is expected (usual).
Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 4007: περπερ, an enclitic particle, akin to the preposition
περί (Herm. de part.
ἄν, p. 6;
Curtius, § 359; cf. Lob. Pathol. Elementa, i. 290; others (connect it directly with
πέραν, etc., and) give 'throughly' as its fundamental meaning; cf.
Bäumlein, Partikeln, p. 198), showing that the idea of the word to which it is annexed must be taken in its fullest extent; it corresponds to the Latin
circiter, cunque, German
noch so sehr, immerhin, wenigstens, ja; (English
however much, very much, altogether, indeed); cf. Hermann ad Vig., p. 791;
Klotz ad Devar. ii. 2, p. 722ff; (Donaldson, New Crat. § 178 at the end). In the N. T. it is affixed to the pronoun
ὅς and to sundry particles, see
διόπερ,
ἐάνπερ,
εἴπερ,
ἐπείπερ,
ἐπειδήπερ,
ἤπερ,
καθάπερ,
καίπερ,
ὅσπερ,
ὥσπερ. ((From
Homer down.))
