Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
1: λίψ (Strong'S #3047 Noun Masculine lips leeps )
lit., "Libyan," denotes "the S.W. wind," Acts 27:12 , "(looking) northeast (and southeast)," Rv, lit., "(looking down) the southwest wind (and down the northwest wind);" to look down a wind was to look in the direction in which it blows. A S.W. wind blows towards the N.E.; the aspect of the haven answers to this. See also under Northeast, Northwest.
Webster's Dictionary [2]
(1): ( n.) The point of the compass equally from the south and the west; the southwest part or region.
(2): ( a.) Pertaining to, or in the direction of, the southwest; proceeding toward the southwest; coming from the southwest; as, a southwest wind.
