From the root: ΦΘΑΝΩ, ΔΕ
Part of Speech: Verb, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the verb ΦΘΑΝΟΥΣΙΝ (phthanousin) and the postpositive conjunction ΔΕ (de). ΦΘΑΝΟΥΣΙΝ means 'they arrive' or 'they come' and is used to describe the action of reaching a place or state, or coming before someone or something. ΔΕ is a common conjunction that means 'but', 'and', 'now', or 'moreover', and it typically follows the word it modifies rather than preceding it. So, the combined word means 'but they arrive', 'and they come', or 'now they reach', depending on the context.
Inflection: ΦΘΑΝΟΥΣΙΝ: Present, Active, Indicative, 3rd Person Plural. ΔΕ: Does not inflect.
