FROM STRONG’S GREEK DICTIONARY (1890)

Strong’s Greek Dictionary (1890) — public domain, printed whole.

haireomai αἱρέομαι — hahee-reh'-om-ahee — probably akin to 142; to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer:--choose. Some of the forms are borrowed from a cognate hellomai hel'-lom-ahee; which is otherwise obsolete.
