ΕΔΔΕΙΝ, εδδειν
EDDEIN, eddein
Sounds Like: ED-een
Translations: to eat, to consume, to devour
From the root: ΕΔΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a scribal error for the Koine Greek verb 'ἐσθίω' (esthio), which means 'to eat' or 'to consume'. The form 'ἔδειν' (edein) is the imperfect active infinitive of 'ἐσθίω', meaning 'to be eating' or 'to eat'. It describes the act of consuming food or, metaphorically, devouring something. The double delta (ΔΔ) in 'ΕΔΔΕΙΝ' is not typical for this verb.
Inflection: Imperfect Active Infinitive
