ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣΛΑΒΕΙΝ, βασιλεωσλαβειν
BASILEŌSLABEIN, basileōslabein
Sounds Like: bah-see-LEH-ohs-lah-BEIN
Translations: to receive from the king, to take from the king
From the root: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ, ΛΑΜΒΑΝΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two separate words: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (BASILEOS), the genitive singular of 'king', and ΛΑΒΕΙΝ (LABEIN), the aorist infinitive of 'to take' or 'to receive'. It is highly probable that this is a scribal error or a very unusual, non-standard compound, and these two words should be written separately. If treated as a single compound, it would mean 'to receive from the king' or 'to take of the king'.
Inflection: Aorist Infinitive (ΛΑΒΕΙΝ), Genitive Singular (ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ)
