ΔΕΥΤΑΙ, δευται
DEUTAI, deutai
Sounds Like: DEW-tai
Translations: come, come here, come on
From the root: ΔΕΥΡΟ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is likely an inflected form of the imperative adverb 'δεῦρο' (deuro), meaning 'come here' or 'come on'. The ending '-ται' is characteristic of the third person plural middle/passive indicative or optative, or the third person singular perfect middle/passive indicative. However, 'δεῦρο' is an adverb used as an imperative, and its forms are not typically inflected in this manner. It is possible that 'ΔΕΥΤΑΙ' is a misspelling or a highly unusual or archaic inflection, or perhaps a scribal error for 'δεῦτε' (deute), which is the plural imperative form of 'come'. Given the context of ancient manuscripts lacking diacritics, it's also possible it's a misreading or a very rare form.
Inflection: Likely a misspelling or rare inflection of an imperative adverb. If it were a standard verb ending, it would be Third Person Plural, Middle/Passive, Indicative or Optative, or Third Person Singular, Perfect, Middle/Passive, Indicative. However, 'δεῦρο' does not typically inflect this way.
