Sounds Like: kah-tee-FEH-yah
Translations: dejection, downcast look, sadness, gloom, sorrow
From the root: ΚΑΤΗΦΕΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to a state of dejection, sadness, or gloom, often characterized by a downcast countenance or a look of sorrow. It describes a deep emotional state of unhappiness or despondency. The initial 'ΗΝ' is likely a scribal error or a misreading of the original text, as 'κατήφεια' (katēpheia) is a standalone noun meaning dejection. It is possible that 'ΗΝ' was intended to be part of a preceding word or a separate word entirely, but in this context, it does not form a recognized compound with 'κατήφεια'.
