Sounds Like: FOH-boo-men-oy (for the full word), FOH-boom (for the given word)

Translations: fearing, those who fear, to fear, to be afraid, to be terrified, to reverence, to respect

From the root: ΦΟΒΕΩ

Part of Speech: Verb, Participle

Explanation: This word is a form of the verb 'phobeō', meaning 'to fear' or 'to be afraid'. In its participle form, it often functions as an adjective or a substantive (acting like a noun), describing 'those who fear' or 'the ones fearing'. It can also convey the sense of reverence or respect, especially when used in a religious context towards God. The form 'ΦΟΒΟΥΜ' specifically appears to be a misspelling or a truncated form of 'ΦΟΒΟΥΜΕΝΟΙ' (phoboumenoi), which is a present middle/passive participle, nominative plural, masculine. It describes an ongoing state of fearing or being reverent.

Inflection: Present, Middle/Passive Voice, Participle, Nominative, Plural, Masculine (likely a misspelling or truncation of ΦΟΒΟΥΜΕΝΟΙ)
