ΕΓΧΕΙΡΟΙΗ, εγχειροιη
EGCHEIROIĒ, egcheiroiē
Sounds Like: eng-khei-ROY-ee
Translations: to take in hand, to undertake, to attempt, to lay hands on
From the root: ΕΓΧΕΙΡΕΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a rare variant of a form derived from the verb 'ἐγχειρέω' (en-chei-REH-oh), which means 'to take in hand' or 'to undertake'. It describes the act of beginning or attempting something, often with the implication of physical action or effort. The form 'ΕΓΧΕΙΡΟΙΗ' itself is not a standard Koine Greek inflection and might be a scribal error or a highly unusual, possibly late or regional, variant.
Inflection: Unknown (likely a misspelling of a form like Aorist Active Optative 3rd Person Singular or similar, but not standard)
Strong’s number: G1457 (Lookup on BibleHub)
Unknown: Yes
