to move
kineo denotes movement, from bodily gestures and shifting objects to stirring a city or crowd.
The attested uses chiefly describe physical motion or removal, including head movements, burdens, a lampstand, and mountains and islands. Other occurrences portray a city or people being stirred into activity, while Acts 17:28 places human movement within the clause about living and having being in him.
