Translations: they came and, they went and, they came but, they went but
From the root: ΕΡΧΟΜΑΙ, ΔΕ
Part of Speech: Verb, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the verb 'ἐπῆεσαν' (epēesan) and the postpositive conjunction 'δὲ' (de). 'Ἐπῆεσαν' is the 3rd person plural aorist indicative active form of the verb 'ἐπέρχομαι' (eperchomai), meaning 'to come upon, to go upon, to approach'. The conjunction 'δὲ' typically means 'but', 'and', or 'moreover', and it always follows the word it modifies. Therefore, the combined word means 'they came and' or 'they went and', or 'they came but' or 'they went but', depending on the context.
Inflection: 3rd Person Plural, Aorist, Indicative, Active (for the verb part); Does not inflect (for the conjunction part)
