ἘΠΕΝΟΟΥΝΠΡΟΣ, ἐπενοουνπρος
EPENOOUNPROS, epenoounpros
Sounds Like: eh-peh-NO-oon-pros
Translations: they were devising towards, they were planning for, they were contriving against
From the root: ΕΠΙΝΟΕΩ, ΠΡΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by the verb 'ἐπινοέω' (epinoeō) and the preposition 'πρός' (pros). 'ἘΠΕΝΟΟΥΝ' is the imperfect active indicative, 3rd person plural of 'ἐπινοέω', meaning 'they were devising', 'they were planning', or 'they were contriving'. 'ΠΡΟΣ' is a preposition that can mean 'to', 'towards', 'with', 'against', or 'in relation to', depending on the case of the noun it governs. When combined as a single word like this, it suggests that the action of devising or planning was directed 'towards' or 'against' something. This specific combination as a single written word is highly unusual and suggests it might be a scribal error or a unique literary construction where the preposition is tightly bound to the verb's action.
Inflection: Imperfect Active Indicative, 3rd Person Plural (for ἘΠΕΝΟΟΥΝ); Does not inflect (for ΠΡΟΣ)
