From the root: ΕΜΠΙΠΤΩ, Ο
Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the verb 'ἐμπίπτω' (empiptō) and the definite article 'τοῖς' (tois). The verb 'ἐμπίπτω' means 'to fall into, fall upon, or encounter'. It is often used to describe something happening to someone or something unexpectedly or forcefully. The article 'τοῖς' is the dative plural form of 'ὁ' (ho), meaning 'to the' or 'for the', and it modifies a plural noun in the dative case. In this context, 'ἐμπίπτει' is likely a third-person singular present active indicative form of the verb, meaning 'he/she/it falls into/upon', and 'τοῖς' would follow it, indicating 'to/for them' or 'to/for the [plural noun]'. The combination 'ἘΜΠΙΠΤΕΙΤΟΙΣ' appears to be a close joining of these two words, possibly indicating a scribal practice or a specific textual tradition.
