MAKARISAIM', makarisaim'

Sounds Like: mah-kah-RIH-sa-eem

Translations: I might call blessed, I might deem happy, I might bless

From the root: ΜΑΚΑΡΙΖΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is a verb meaning 'to call blessed' or 'to deem happy'. The apostrophe at the end (coronis) indicates an elision, likely of the final vowel of the first person singular ending, so it would originally be ΜΑΚΑΡΙΣΑΙΜΙ. It describes the action of declaring someone to be blessed or fortunate. It is often used in a context of expressing a wish or a potential action.
