ΕΛΟΜΕΝΟΙΠΡΟ, ελομενοιπρο
ELOMENOIPRO, elomenoipro
Sounds Like: eh-LOH-meh-noy PRO
Translations: having chosen, having taken, before, in front of
From the root: ΑΙΡΕΩ, ΠΡΟ
Part of Speech: Participle, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenation of two separate Koine Greek words: ΕΛΟΜΕΝΟΙ (elomenoi) and ΠΡΟ (pro). ΕΛΟΜΕΝΟΙ is the masculine plural nominative/vocative aorist middle participle of the verb αἱρέω (haireō), meaning "to choose" or "to take." ΠΡΟ is a preposition meaning "before" or "in front of." When combined, it would mean "having chosen before" or "having taken in front of," but it's more likely these words are intended to be separate in the original text, as they are not typically compounded in this manner. The provided text seems to have concatenated them without a space.
Inflection: ΕΛΟΜΕΝΟΙ: Aorist, Middle Voice, Participle, Masculine, Plural, Nominative or Vocative. ΠΡΟ: Does not inflect (preposition).
