Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This is a compound verb formed from the preposition ΣΥΝ (syn), meaning 'with' or 'together', and the verb ΠΝΙΓΩ (pnigō), meaning 'to choke' or 'to suffocate'. Therefore, ΣΥΜΠΝΙΓΩ means 'to choke completely', 'to suffocate', or 'to be choked together'. It is often used metaphorically to describe something that is overwhelmed or suppressed, like a plant being choked by weeds or a person's spiritual growth being stifled by worldly concerns. In this form, it indicates that a group of subjects are being choked or suffocated.
