Thayer's Greek Lexicon
τήκω: from Homer down; to make liquid; passive, to become liquid, to melt; to perish or be destroyed by melting: 2Pe 3:12, where for the present 3 person singular τήκεται Lachmann gives the future τακήσεται (see WH on the passage and in their Appendix, p. 171), cf. Isa 34:4 τακήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν. (Cf. Veitch, under the word.)
