Sounds Like: em-PIP-tays-teh-ROH-meh-noys
Translations: to fall into, to fall upon, to attack, to encounter
From the root: ἘΜΠΙΠΤΕΙΝ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a highly unusual or possibly misspelled form. It seems to be derived from the verb 'ἐμπίπτω' (empíptō), meaning 'to fall into' or 'to fall upon'. The ending '-ειστερομένοις' is not a standard Koine Greek inflection. It might be a garbled or badly misspelled form of a participle, possibly aiming for something like 'ἐμπίπτοντες' (those falling upon) or a similar construction. Given its unusual structure, its precise meaning and usage are unclear without further context or correction.
Inflection: Unknown, possibly a misspelled participle, Dative, Plural, Masculine or Neuter
Unknown: Yes
