Translations: of the same tribe, of the same race, countrymen, kinsmen, he was driving, he was leading, he was marching
From the root: ΟΜΟΦΥΛΟΣ, ΕΛΑΥΝΩ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or a concatenation of two distinct words: ΟΜΟΦΥΛΩΝ (homophylon) and ἨΛΑΥΝΕΝ (ēlaunen). ΟΜΟΦΥΛΩΝ is the genitive plural of the adjective ΟΜΟΦΥΛΟΣ, meaning 'of the same tribe, race, or nation.' It is often used as a noun to refer to 'countrymen' or 'kinsmen.' ἨΛΑΥΝΕΝ is the imperfect active indicative third person singular form of the verb ΕΛΑΥΝΩ, meaning 'to drive, to lead, to march, or to push.' Therefore, the combined phrase would mean something like 'of the same countrymen he was driving/leading' or 'he was driving/leading his fellow-countrymen.'
Inflection: ΟΜΟΦΥΛΩΝ: Plural, Genitive, Masculine or Feminine or Neuter. ἨΛΑΥΝΕΝ: Singular, Imperfect, Active, Indicative, Third Person.
