Explanation: It's not clear what this word means. It appears to be a garbled or badly misspelled word, as it does not correspond to any known Koine Greek word. It is possible it is a very rare or highly specialized term, or a transcription error. Given the context of 'slipping' or 'sliding' in the example usage, it might be related to a substance that causes slipperiness, but this is purely speculative.
