Translations: Ares, you may lift, you may take up, you may carry, you may remove, you may destroy, you may please, you may satisfy
From the root: ΑΡΗΣ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Verb
Explanation: This word has two primary meanings depending on context. As a proper noun, ἈΡΗΣ refers to Ares, the Greek god of war. As a verb, it is an inflected form that can come from either the verb αἴρω (to lift, take up, carry, remove, destroy) or ἀρέσκω (to please, satisfy). The context of the sentence determines which meaning is intended. For example, when referring to a king or a deity, it is the proper noun. When used in a command or a negative construction (e.g., 'do not lift'), it is the verb.
Inflection: Proper Noun (Nominative, Singular, Masculine); Verb (Aorist Subjunctive, Active, 2nd Person Singular, from αἴρω; or Present Subjunctive, Active, 2nd Person Singular, from ἀρέσκω)
