From the root: ΕΠΙΦΥΛΛΙΖΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a truncated or misspelled form of the Koine Greek verb 'ΕΠΙΦΥΛΛΙΖΩ' (epiphyllizo), which means to glean or pick up what is left after a harvest. It describes the act of gathering the remaining produce, often by the poor, after the main harvest has been completed. It implies a careful, often laborious, collection of small remnants.
Inflection: First Aorist, Active, Indicative, Third Person Singular (ΕΠΕΦΥΛΛΙϹΑϹ in example 3 suggests aorist active indicative 2nd person singular), or possibly a noun form like ΕΠΙΦΥΛΛΙΣ (epiphyllis) meaning 'gleaning' or 'aftermath' as seen in example 1. The form ΕΠΙΦΥΛΛΙϹΟ in example 2 suggests an imperative or a variant spelling. Given the context, it is most likely a verb form related to gleaning.
