ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΝἈΠΑΝΤΑΝ, σκυθρωπονἀπανταν
SKYTHRŌPONAPANTAN, skythrōponapantan
Sounds Like: sky-THRO-pon ah-PAN-tan
Translations: gloomy, sad, downcast, to meet, to encounter, to happen, to come upon
From the root: ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΣ, ἈΠΑΝΤΑΩ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words: 'ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΝ' (skythrōpon), meaning 'gloomy' or 'sad-faced', and 'ἈΠΑΝΤΑΝ' (apantan), which is the infinitive form of 'ἀπαντάω' (apantaō), meaning 'to meet' or 'to encounter'. The combination 'ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΝἈΠΑΝΤΑΝ' is not a standard Koine Greek word and is likely a transcription error or a concatenation of two separate words that should be 'ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΝ ἀπαντᾶν' (gloomy to meet) or similar, depending on the context. If it were a single word, it would imply 'to meet gloomily' or 'to encounter with a sad countenance', but this is highly unusual for a single compound word in Koine Greek.
Inflection: ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΝ: Accusative, Singular, Neuter (or Masculine/Feminine); ἈΠΑΝΤΑΝ: Present, Active, Infinitive
