'ΔΕΙΝΟΣ' is an adjective meaning 'terrible, dreadful, mighty, or skillful'. It can describe a person, thing, or situation. 'ΔΕ' is a postpositive conjunction, meaning it typically comes second in its clause, and serves to connect clauses or sentences, often indicating a contrast ('but') or continuation ('and, moreover').
