Sounds Like: oh-MOH-sah-pek-TINE-eh
Translations: he swore he killed, he swore he slew, he swore and killed, he swore and slew
From the root: ΟΜΝΥΩ, ΑΠΟΚΤΕΙΝΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is a compound of two verbs, 'omnyo' (to swear) and 'apokteino' (to kill). It appears to be a highly unusual or potentially erroneous juxtaposition of two aorist indicative verbs, 'ὤμοσα' (he swore) and 'ἀπέκτεινε' (he killed/slew), without a conjunction. In standard Koine Greek, these two actions would typically be connected by a conjunction like 'καί' (and) or expressed in separate clauses. Its literal meaning would be 'he swore he killed' or 'he swore and killed', indicating a sequence of actions where someone first took an oath and then committed an act of killing.
Inflection: Third Person Singular, Aorist Indicative, Active Voice (for both implied verbs)
