Explanation: This is a compound word, formed from the conjunction 'καί' (and) and a form of the verb 'ἀνοίγω' (to open). The 'ν' in 'κἀν' is a result of elision and contraction of 'καί' and 'ἀν-'. The verb form 'ἀνεῴχθησαν' is the 3rd person plural, aorist passive indicative of 'ἀνοίγω', meaning 'they were opened'. It describes an action completed in the past where the subject underwent the action of being opened. It can also be used in a middle sense, meaning 'they opened themselves' or 'they opened'.
