Sounds Like: ekh-OH-roon-EP-ee

Translations: they were going upon, they were advancing towards, they were proceeding to

From the root: ΧΩΡΕΩ, ΕΠΙ

Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition

Explanation: This is a compound phrase formed by the verb 'ἐχώρουν' (echōroun) and the preposition 'ἐπί' (epi). 'Ἐχώρουν' is the imperfect active indicative, 3rd person plural, of the verb 'χωρέω' (chōreō), meaning 'to go, proceed, advance, make room, contain'. The imperfect tense indicates continuous or repeated action in the past. The preposition 'ἐπί' (epi) typically means 'on, upon, over, at, to, against', and when used with a verb of motion, it often indicates direction 'towards' or 'upon'. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'they were going upon' or 'they were advancing towards'.

Inflection: Verb: Imperfect, Active, Indicative, 3rd Person, Plural; Preposition: Does not inflect
