From the root: ΑΛΙΣΚΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is a form of the verb 'ἁλίσκω' (haliskō), meaning 'to be captured' or 'to be taken'. It describes the state of being caught or overcome, often in a military or legal context. It can refer to a city being captured, a person being caught in a trap, or being convicted in a legal case. In the provided examples, the context of 'ἘΞΑΝΑΛΩΣΕΙ' (exanalōsei) suggests a meaning of 'to consume' or 'to destroy', which comes from a different but related verb, 'ἀναλίσκω' (analiskō) or 'ἐξαναλίσκω' (exanaliskō). However, 'ΑΛΩΣΕΙ' itself, without the prefix, is most commonly a future form of 'ἁλίσκω'. It can function as a third-person singular future active indicative ('he/she/it will be captured') or as a future active infinitive ('to be captured').
Inflection: Future, Active, Indicative (3rd Person Singular) or Infinitive
