ἈΛΕΙ, ἀλει
ALEI, alei
Sounds Like: ah-LEY-fee
Translations: anoint, to anoint, rub, to rub
From the root: ΑΛΕΙΦΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a truncated or misspelled form of the Koine Greek verb 'ἀλείφω' (aleiphō), which means 'to anoint' or 'to rub'. It is commonly used in contexts of applying oil, ointment, or other substances to the body, often for medicinal, ritual, or cosmetic purposes. The provided examples show inflected forms like 'ἀλείψῃ' (aleipsē), meaning 'you will anoint', and 'ἀλείφατ' (aleiphat), which is likely a proper noun or a different word entirely, suggesting 'ἈΛΕΙ' itself is incomplete.
Inflection: It is not a complete word, but likely a truncation of a verb that inflects for tense, voice, mood, person, and number. The root verb 'ἀλείφω' is a regular verb.
