Part of Speech: Verb, Pronoun
Explanation: This word is a compound of a verb form and a pronoun. The first part, ΟἸΚΗΣΗΤΕ, is a form of the verb ΟΙΚΕΩ (oikeō), meaning 'to dwell' or 'to inhabit'. It can be interpreted as either the second person plural future active indicative ('you will dwell') or the second person plural aorist active subjunctive ('that you may dwell' or 'you may dwell'). The second part, ΤΟΥΣ, is the masculine plural accusative form of the demonstrative pronoun ΟΥ̓͂ΤΟΣ (houtos), meaning 'these' or 'those'. Therefore, the combined word likely means 'you will dwell these' or 'that you may dwell those', indicating an action directed towards a group of people or things.
Inflection: Second Person Plural, Future Active Indicative or Aorist Active Subjunctive (for the verb part); Masculine Plural Accusative (for the pronoun part)
