ΙΔΟΥΣΟΙ, ιδουσοι
IDOUSOI, idousoi
Sounds Like: ee-DOO-soy
Translations: behold, look, see, lo, you, to you, for you
From the root: ΙΔΟΥ
Part of Speech: Interjection, Pronoun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a combination of two distinct Koine Greek words: 'ἰδού' (idou), an interjection meaning 'behold!' or 'look!', and 'σοι' (soi), the dative singular form of the second-person personal pronoun 'σύ' (sy), meaning 'to you' or 'for you'. It is not a standard single word in Koine Greek. It likely functions as an emphatic 'Behold, for you!' or 'Look, to you!' or could be a textual error combining two separate words that should be read distinctly. If it is a compound, it emphasizes the recipient of the 'beholding'.
Inflection: Combination of an indeclinable interjection and a Dative, Singular, Second Person pronoun.
