ΚΑΛΛΟΣΥΒΡΕΙ, καλλοσυβρει
KALLOSYBREI, kallosybrei
Sounds Like: KAL-los-YOO-bray
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΚΑΛΛΟΣ, ΥΒΡΙΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two Koine Greek words: ΚΑΛΛΟΣ (kallos), meaning 'beauty', and ὕβρις (hybris), meaning 'insolence, arrogance, outrage'. However, the combination 'ΚΑΛΛΟΣΥΒΡΕΙ' is not a recognized word in Koine Greek. It is highly probable that this is a misspelling or a garbled form of a word, or perhaps a unique, non-standard compound created for a specific context. It might be an attempt to describe 'beautiful insolence' or 'beauty of outrage', but this is speculative.
