Sounds Like: day-LEE-ahn ah-neh-KHO-roon

Translations: cowardice, timidity, fear, they were withdrawing, they were retreating

From the root: ΔΕΙΛΙΑ, ἈΝΑΧΩΡΕΩ

Part of Speech: Noun, Verb

Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase formed by the noun 'δειλίαν' (deilian), meaning 'cowardice' or 'timidity' in the accusative case, and the verb 'ἀνεχώρουν' (anechōroun), which is the imperfect active indicative of 'ἀναχωρέω' (anachōreō), meaning 'to withdraw' or 'to retreat'. The phrase would thus describe an action of withdrawing or retreating, possibly due to or characterized by cowardice. It implies a continuous or repeated action in the past.
