ΑΥΡΙΩΝΤΟ, αυριωντο
AURIŌNTO, auriōnto
Sounds Like: ow-REE-ohn-toh
Translations: they were tomorrowing, they were delaying until tomorrow, they were putting off until tomorrow
From the root: ΑΥΡΙΟΝ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a rare or possibly non-standard formation, likely a past tense (imperfect) form of a verb derived from the adverb 'αύριον' (aurion), meaning 'tomorrow'. It would imply an action of 'doing something tomorrow' or 'delaying until tomorrow'. The provided context suggests a meaning related to 'delaying' or 'waiting for tomorrow' in a military or strategic sense, perhaps 'they were delaying' or 'they were waiting for the morrow'. It is not a commonly attested verb form in classical or Koine Greek texts, and might be a unique or poetic usage, or even a scribal variation of another word. Given the context, it could also be a misspelling or variant of a word like 'ηγαυριωντο' (egaurionto), which is also not standard but might imply a similar meaning of 'being proud' or 'boasting', though this is less likely given the 'tomorrow' root.
