Translations: to love, to desire, to long for
From the root: ἘΡΆΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a highly unusual inflection of the Koine Greek verb 'ἐράω' (erao), meaning 'to love' or 'to desire'. The ending '-σαμω' does not correspond to any standard Koine Greek verbal inflection. It is possible it is a garbled form or a very rare dialectal variant, but it is not a recognized form in standard Koine Greek texts. The verb 'ἐράω' typically describes a passionate or intense love or desire.
Inflection: Unknown or irregular inflection; possibly a misspelling of a form of 'ἐράω'.
Unknown: Yes
