From the root: ΑΠΟΓΟΝΟΣ, ΚΗΔΕΥΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This word is a compound of two distinct Koine Greek words written together without a space, a common practice in ancient manuscripts. The first part, 'ἈΠΟΓΟΝΟΥΣ (apogonous)', is the accusative plural of the noun ἀπόγονος (apogonos), meaning 'descendants' or 'offspring'. The second part, 'ΚΕΚΗΔΕΥΣΘΑΙ (kekēdeusthai)', is the perfect infinitive passive of the verb κηδεύω (kēdeuō), which means 'to take care of', 'to bury', or 'to marry (off)'. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'descendants to have been buried/married/taken care of'. It describes a state where offspring have undergone one of these actions.
Inflection: ἈΠΟΓΟΝΟΥΣ: Plural, Accusative, Masculine or Feminine. ΚΕΚΗΔΕΥΣΘΑΙ: Perfect, Infinitive, Passive.
