Thayer's Greek Lexicon
κύων, κυνός; in secular authors of the common gender, in the N. T. masculine; Hebrew ëÆÌìÆá; a dog; properly: Luk 16:21; 2Pe 2:22; metaphorically (in various (but always reproachful) senses; often so even in Homer) a man of impure mind, an impudent man (cf. Lightfoot on Phil. l. s.): Mat 7:6; Php 3:2; Rev 22:15, in which last passage others less probably understand sodomites (like ëÄÌìÈáÄéí in Deu 23:18 (19)) (cf. B. D., under the word ).
