The Greek word “brachus”

Found just seven times in the New Testament (Lk. 22:58; Jn. 6:7; Acts 5:34; 27:28; Heb. 2:7, 9; 13:22), the Greek adjective “brachus” meant “few,” “short,” “little.” In the New Testament this word describes distance (Acts 27:28), time (Lk. 22:58; Acts 5:34), and quantity (Jn. 6:7; Heb. 13:22).
