From the root: ΗΓΕΟΜΑΙ, Ο
Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the verb 'ΗΓΟΥΝΤΟ' (hēgounto) and the definite article 'ΤΗΝ' (tēn). 'ΗΓΟΥΝΤΟ' is the 3rd person plural imperfect middle/passive indicative of the verb 'ΗΓΕΟΜΑΙ', meaning 'to lead', 'to consider', or 'to think'. 'ΤΗΝ' is the feminine singular accusative form of the definite article 'Ο', meaning 'the' or 'a'. When combined, it typically means 'they were considering the' or 'they were thinking the'. This combination is not a single word but two distinct words written together, likely due to a scribal error or a specific textual tradition where spaces were omitted.
