\epiyumia\ is the broadest of these words. Its meaning may be good, but it is usually bad. It denotes any natural desire or appetite, usually with the implication that it is a depraved desire.

\payov\ has not as broad a meaning as in classical Greek, but denotes evil desire, chiefly, however, as a condition of the soul rather than in active operation.

\ormh\ indicates hostile motion toward an object, either for seizing or repelling.

\orexiv\ is a desire or appetite, especially seeking the object of gratification in order to make it one's own.
