From the root: ΑΝΑ, ΕΙΜΙ, ΑΙΡΩ
Part of Speech: Prefix, Verb
Explanation: This word is not a standalone Koine Greek word but appears to be a truncated or misspelled form of several possibilities, or a prefix combined with a verb stem. It most commonly functions as a prefix 'ΑΝΑ-' meaning 'up' or 'again', or it could be an inflected form of the verb 'ΕΙΜΙ' (to be) or 'ΑΙΡΩ' (to take, to lift, to destroy). Given the examples, it is likely part of a compound verb. For instance, in 'ἈΝΑΤΕΛΕΙ', 'ΑΝΑ-' is a prefix. In 'ἈΝΕΙΚΑΣΤΟΣ', 'ΑΝ-' is a negative prefix. In 'ἈΝΕΙΛΟΝ', 'ἈΝΕΙ' is part of the aorist stem of 'ΑΙΡΩ' (specifically, ἀναιρέω, 'to take up' or 'to destroy'). Therefore, its meaning and function depend entirely on the verb it is attached to.
Inflection: This form is not a complete word on its own. It could be a prefix or part of an inflected verb form, such as a past tense (aorist) or future tense, depending on the full word it belongs to. It does not inflect independently.
