Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

νῶτος, νώτου, (from root ’to bend,’ ’curve,’ akin to Latinnatis; Fick i. 128; Vanicek, p. 420), the back: Rom 11:10 from Psa 68:24 (). (In Homer ὁ νῶτος ( the gender of the singular is undetermined in Homer and Hesiod (Liddell and Scott)), plural τά νῶτα; in Attic generally τό νῶτον, very rarely ὁ νῶτος; plural always τά νῶτα; the Sept. ὁ νῶτος, plural οἱ νῶτοι; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 290; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 351); Passow (Liddell and Scott), under the word.)
