From the root: ΕΠΕΙΔΗ
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the conjunction 'epeidē'. It is used to introduce a clause that provides a reason or cause for something, similar to 'since' or 'because' in English. It can also indicate a temporal relationship, meaning 'when' or 'after that'. The form 'epeides' is not a standard or common inflection of 'epeidē' in Koine Greek. It is highly likely a misspelling or a rare, non-standard variant of 'epeidē' or 'epeidan'.
Inflection: Likely a misspelling or non-standard variant of a conjunction. Conjunctions typically do not inflect for case, gender, or number. If it were a verb, it would be 2nd person singular, Aorist, Active, Indicative, but 'epeidē' is not a verb.
