Translations: they form non-idols, they make non-idolatrous images, non-idolatrous forms
From the root: ΑΝΕΙΔΩΛΟΠΟΙΕΩ, ΤΥΠΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Noun
Explanation: This is a highly unusual and likely unique compound word, appearing to combine a verb and a noun. It seems to be formed from the negative prefix 'ἀν-' (an-), meaning 'un-' or 'not', combined with 'εἰδωλοποιέω' (eidōlopoieō), meaning 'to make idols' or 'to form images', and then directly followed by 'τύπους' (typous), the accusative plural of 'τύπος' (typos), meaning 'types', 'forms', or 'patterns'. The most probable interpretation is that it means 'they make non-idolatrous forms' or 'they form non-idols'. Given its rarity, it might be a neologism or a specific philosophical term coined by the author. It is a compound word made of several parts.
Inflection: Third Person Plural, Present Active Indicative (for the verb part); Accusative Plural, Masculine (for the noun part)
Unknown: Yes
