Sounds Like: layf-THEN-ep-EE
Translations: having been left upon, having been left on, having been left at, having been left against
From the root: ΛΕΙΠΩ, ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of the aorist passive participle of the verb λείπω (leipō), meaning 'to leave, abandon, lack', and the preposition ἐπί (epi), meaning 'on, upon, over, at, to, against'. The form 'λειφθέν' (leiphthen) is the neuter singular nominative or accusative aorist passive participle, meaning 'that which was left' or 'having been left'. The addition of 'ἐπί' (epi) indicates the location or object upon which something was left, or the circumstances under which it was left. Therefore, the compound would mean 'having been left upon' or 'that which was left on/at/against'. This construction is highly unusual and suggests it might be a scribal error, a very rare or unique compound, or a misinterpretation of two separate words written together without a space.
Inflection: Aorist Passive Participle, Neuter, Nominative or Accusative Singular (from λείπω) combined with the preposition ἐπί. The preposition ἐπί can take the Genitive, Dative, or Accusative case depending on its meaning, but here it is appended to a participle.
