Sounds Like: HERG-mai
Translations: I have begun, I have started, I have ruled, I have governed
From the root: ΑΡΧΟΜΑΙ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is the perfect passive indicative form of the verb 'ἄρχομαι' (archomai), meaning 'to begin' or 'to rule'. In the perfect tense, it indicates an action that has been completed in the past with ongoing results in the present. Depending on context, it can mean 'I have begun' (intransitive) or 'I have been ruled/governed' (passive of 'ἄρχω', to rule). The middle voice of 'ἄρχομαι' typically means 'to begin', while the active voice 'ἄρχω' means 'to rule'. This form is ambiguous between the perfect passive of 'ἄρχω' and the perfect middle of 'ἄρχομαι', but given the common usage of 'ἄρχομαι' for 'to begin', the latter is more frequent.
