From the root: ΥΠΟΣΤΕΛΛΩ, Ο
Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of the verb 'ὑποστέλλω' (hypostellō) and the genitive plural definite article 'τῶν' (tōn). The verb 'ὑποστέλλω' means 'to draw back, withdraw, shrink from, conceal, or hide'. The form 'ὑπεστέλλετο' is the imperfect middle/passive indicative, third person singular, meaning 'he/she/it was drawing back' or 'he/she/it was being drawn back/concealed'. The article 'τῶν' means 'of the'. It is highly probable that 'ΥΠΕΣΤΕΛΛΕΤΟΤΩΝ' is a typographical error or a transcription mistake where the verb and the article were incorrectly joined into a single word. In proper Koine Greek, these would be two separate words: 'ὑπεστέλλετο τῶν'.
