From the root: ΚΑΙΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the verb 'καίω' (kaiō), meaning 'to burn'. It describes the action of setting something ablaze or being consumed by fire. It can be used in various contexts related to literal burning or metaphorical consumption.
Inflection: Aorist Active Indicative, 3rd Person Plural (κατέκαυσαν in example 3) or Aorist Active Subjunctive, 3rd Person Singular (ἐκκαύσω in example 2, though this is a future form of the compound verb ἐκκαίω, which uses the root ΚΑΥΣ). The provided form 'ΚΑΥΣ' itself is a root form used in various tenses and moods, often appearing in compound verbs or as the stem for aorist forms. Given the examples, it appears as a stem for aorist forms like 'κατέκαυσαν' (they burned down) and in compound verbs like 'ἐκκαύσω' (I will burn out/up). It is not a standalone inflected word in the provided form but a verbal stem.
