Translations: to cause to swell, to cause to surge, to cause to rise in waves
From the root: ΕΠΙΚΥΜΑΙΝΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is likely an aorist active participle (masculine/neuter, accusative singular) or aorist active infinitive of the verb 'ΕΠΙΚΥΜΑΙΝΩ' (epikymainō), which means 'to cause to swell' or 'to cause to surge'. It describes an action of making something rise in waves or swell up. The form 'ΕΠΙΚΥΜΗΝ' itself is not a standard inflection of 'ΕΠΙΚΥΜΑΙΝΩ' in Koine Greek. It appears to be a misspelling or a very rare/non-standard variant, possibly intended as an aorist active participle 'ἐπικυμήνας' (epikymēnas) or a related form. Given the lack of diacritics, it's difficult to be certain of the exact intended form or meaning, but the root points to the action of causing something to swell or surge.
Inflection: Likely a misspelling or non-standard form of an Aorist Active Participle (Masculine/Neuter, Accusative Singular) or Aorist Active Infinitive. The expected root verb is 'ΕΠΙΚΥΜΑΙΝΩ'.
