Sounds Like: AY-sahn-oh-loh-FOOR-sace
Translations: they were lamentations, they were wailings, they were mournful cries
From the root: ΕἸΜΙ, ὈΛΟΦΥΡΜΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two separate Koine Greek words: ἨΣΑΝ (esan), meaning 'they were' (from the verb εἰμί, 'to be'), and ὈΛΟΦΥΡΣΕΙΣ (olophyrsis), meaning 'lamentations' or 'wailings'. It is highly probable that these two words were mistakenly joined together in the provided text, as they would typically appear as separate words in Koine Greek: ἨΣΑΝ ὈΛΟΦΥΡΣΕΙΣ. The combined form 'ἨΣΑΝὈΛΟΦΥΡΣΕΙΣ' is not a standard Koine Greek word.
Inflection: ἨΣΑΝ: Imperfect, Indicative, Active, 3rd Person, Plural; ὈΛΟΦΥΡΣΕΙΣ: Nominative or Accusative, Plural, Feminine
