ἸΔΟΥΣΟΙ, ἰδουσοι
IDOUSOI, idousoi
Sounds Like: ee-DOO-soy
Translations: seeing, beholding, looking, perceiving
From the root: ὉΡΑΩ
Part of Speech: Participle
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a very rare/obscure form of the feminine nominative plural participle of the verb 'ὁράω' (horaō), meaning 'to see' or 'to behold'. The expected form would be 'ἰδοῦσαι' (idousai). As a participle, it describes an action of seeing or perceiving, often functioning adjectivally or adverbially in a sentence, agreeing in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies. If it were 'ἰδοῦσαι', it would mean 'the ones seeing' or 'they seeing'. The ending '-σοι' is not a standard ending for this participle form.
Inflection: Feminine, Nominative, Plural (likely a misspelling of ἰδοῦσαι)
