Name of God’s Son

ΚΑΘΙΗ, καθιη

KATHIĒ, kathiē

Sounds Like: KAH-thee-ay

Translations: to sit, to sit down, to cause to sit, to set, to appoint

From the root: ΚΑΘΙΖΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb 'kathizō', meaning 'to sit' or 'to cause to sit'. It can refer to the act of taking a seat oneself, or to placing someone or something in a seated position. It can also be used metaphorically to mean 'to settle' or 'to appoint'. The form 'ΚΑΘΙΗ' is not a standard inflection of 'kathizō' in Koine Greek. It appears to be a misspelling or a very rare/dialectal form. The most common forms would be 'kathisai' (infinitive) or 'kathisō' (subjunctive) as seen in the example usage. It is likely a typo for 'ΚΑΘΙΣΩ' (kathisō), which is a first person singular aorist subjunctive form, meaning 'that I may sit'.

Inflection: Likely a misspelling or a very rare/dialectal form. If it were 'ΚΑΘΙΣΩ', it would be First Person, Singular, Aorist, Subjunctive, Active.
