Translations: their own, he returned, she returned, it returned
From the root: ΣΦΕΤΕΡΟΣ, ΥΠΟΣΤΡΕΦΩ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Verb
Explanation: This word is a compound of two separate Koine Greek words run together: 'σφετέρους' (sphéterous) and 'ὑπέστρεψε' (hypéstrepse). 'Σφετέρους' is the accusative masculine plural form of the possessive adjective 'σφέτερος', meaning 'their own' or 'their'. 'Ὑπέστρεψε' is the third person singular aorist active indicative form of the verb 'ὑποστρέφω', meaning 'to return' or 'to turn back'. Therefore, the combined meaning is 'he/she/it returned to their own'. This is likely a typographical error where the space between the two words was omitted.
