Thayer's Greek Lexicon

βρύω;

1. intransitive, to abound, gush forth, teem with juices ((akin to βλύω, φλύω; see Lob. Techn., p. 22f; Curtius, p. 531), cf. German Brust, Brühe); often so from Homer down (Iliad 17, 56 ἔρνος ἀνθει βρύει).

2. more rarely transitive, to send forth abundantly: absolutely to teem, ἡ γῆ βρύει, Xenophon, venat. 5, 12; with an accusative of flowers, fruits, χάριτες ῤόδα βρυουσι, Anacreon () 44, 2 (37, 2); to send forth water, Jas 3:11.
