ΒΟΜΒΗΣΟΥΣΘΙΝ, βομβησουσθιν
BOMBĒSOUSTHIN, bombēsousthin
Sounds Like: bom-BEE-soos-thin
Translations: to buzz, to hum, to drone, to make a booming sound
From the root: ΒΟΜΒΕΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a highly unusual or possibly erroneous inflection of the verb 'βομβέω' (bombeo), which means 'to buzz', 'to hum', or 'to drone'. The ending '-σουσθιν' is not a standard Koine Greek verbal ending. If it were a future middle/passive form, it would typically end in '-σομαι', '-σονται', etc. It might be a very rare or non-standard form, or a scribal error. If it were to exist, it would describe an action of buzzing or humming, likely in the future tense, and potentially in the middle or passive voice, indicating that something will buzz or be buzzed.
Inflection: Uncertain; possibly Future Middle/Passive, but the ending is non-standard. It could be a misspelling or a very rare form.
Unknown: Yes
