ERHRIPTONEIS, erhriptoneis

Sounds Like: er-RIP-ton-EES

Translations: they were throwing, into, to, for

From the root: ΡΙΠΤΩ, ΕΙΣ

Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition

Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words: the verb 'ἐρρίπτον' (erripton) and the preposition 'εἰς' (eis). 'Ἐρρίπτον' is the imperfect active indicative, third person plural, of the verb 'ῥίπτω' (rhiptō), meaning 'to throw' or 'to cast'. The imperfect tense indicates continuous or repeated action in the past, so 'they were throwing' or 'they used to throw'. 'Εἰς' is a common preposition meaning 'into', 'to', or 'for', indicating motion towards or a destination. Therefore, the combined form would mean 'they were throwing into' or 'they were casting into'. It is highly probable that these two words should be separated in the original text.

Inflection: Verb: Third Person Plural, Imperfect Active Indicative; Preposition: Does not inflect
