ΚΥΡΙΟΣἘΚΛΕΞΑΣΘΑΙ, κυριοσἐκλεξασθαι
KYRIOSEKLEXASTHAI, kyrioseklexasthai
Sounds Like: KOO-ree-os EK-lex-AS-thai
Translations: Lord, a Lord, to choose, to select, to pick out
From the root: ΚΥΡΙΟΣ, ἘΚΛΕΓΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenated phrase consisting of two distinct Koine Greek words: ΚΥΡΙΟΣ (Kyrios) meaning 'Lord' or 'Master', and ἘΚΛΕΞΑΣΘΑΙ (eklexasthai), which is the aorist middle infinitive of the verb ἐκλέγω (eklegō), meaning 'to choose out' or 'to select'. In context, it would typically mean 'the Lord to choose' or 'the Lord to select'. The two words are written together without a space, which is an unusual orthographic choice but not uncommon in ancient manuscripts where word separation was not always consistent.
Inflection: ΚΥΡΙΟΣ: Singular, Nominative, Masculine. ἘΚΛΕΞΑΣΘΑΙ: Aorist, Infinitive, Middle Voice.
