Translations: of a sister, having taken to oneself, having received, having admitted, having helped, having assumed
From the root: ἈΔΕΛΦΗ, ΠΡΟΣΛΑΜΒΑΝΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb (Participle)
Explanation: This appears to be a concatenation of two Koine Greek words: 'ἀδελφῆς' (adelphēs) and 'προσλαβοῦσα' (proslabousa). 'Ἀδελφῆς' is the genitive singular of 'ἀδελφή' (sister), meaning 'of a sister' or 'a sister's'. 'Προσλαβοῦσα' is the feminine nominative singular aorist active participle of 'προσλαμβάνω', meaning 'having taken to oneself', 'having received', 'having admitted', 'having helped', or 'having assumed'. When combined, it would mean something like 'having received/helped a sister' or 'having taken a sister to oneself'. This is not a single compound word but rather two words written together without a space, a common occurrence in ancient manuscripts.
