From the root: ΚΑΤΑΠΛΗΣΣΩ, Ο
Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the aorist infinitive middle/passive of the verb καταπλήσσω (kataplesso), meaning 'to strike down, to astonish, to amaze, to terrify, or to confound,' and the definite article τούς (tous), meaning 'the' or 'those'. The combination suggests an action of astonishing or terrifying 'the ones' or 'those'. It is likely a grammatical error or a very unusual construction, as the infinitive and the article are typically separated. It could be a scribal error where the article was appended to the verb.
Inflection: Aorist, Infinitive, Middle or Passive Voice (for the verb); Masculine, Plural, Accusative Case (for the article)
