ΠΟΙΕΙΣΘΑΙΤΗΡΕΙΝ, ποιεισθαιτηρειν
POIEISTHAITĒREIN, poieisthaitērein
Sounds Like: Poy-EE-sthai-tee-RAIN
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΠΟΙΕΩ, ΤΗΡΕΩ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by combining two infinitives: ποιείσθαι (poieisthai), the middle/passive infinitive of ποιέω (poieō, 'to make, do'), and τηρεῖν (tērein), the active infinitive of τηρέω (tēreō, 'to keep, guard, observe'). Such a direct combination of two infinitives into a single word is highly unusual and not standard Koine Greek. It is very likely a transcription error, a misspelling, or a garbled text. If it were intended to convey a meaning, it might imply 'to make oneself keep' or 'to cause to be kept', but this is speculative given its non-standard form.
Inflection: Unknown, likely a garbled or misspelled form of two infinitives.
Unknown: Yes
