ΔΕΑΣΦΑΛΤΟΥ, δεασφαλτου
DEASPHALTOU, deasphaltou
Sounds Like: as-FAL-too
Translations: of asphalt, of bitumen, of pitch
From the root: ΑΣΦΑΛΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is the genitive singular form of the noun 'asphaltos', meaning 'asphalt', 'bitumen', or 'pitch'. It is used to indicate possession or origin, similar to saying 'of asphalt' in English. The initial 'ΔΕ' is likely a misspelling or a scribal error, as 'asphaltou' (ἀσφάλτου) is the standard genitive form of 'asphaltos' (ἄσφαλτος). It is possible that 'ΔΕ' was intended as a conjunction like 'δὲ' (de, meaning 'but', 'and', 'now'), but its presence directly preceding the noun in this form is highly unusual and suggests a textual issue.
