KAIPEROU, kaiperou
Sounds Like: KAI-per
Translations: although, even though, though
From the root: ΚΑΙΠΕΡ
Part of Speech: Adverb, Conjunction
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a rare variant of the Koine Greek word ΚΑΙΠΕΡ (kaiper), which means 'although' or 'even though'. It is used to introduce a concessive clause, indicating that something is true despite a preceding statement. The ending -οὐ is not a standard inflection for ΚΑΙΠΕΡ. It might be a scribal error or a very unusual adverbial form, but its meaning would still be 'although'.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as ΚΑΙΠΕΡ), but the ending -οὐ is unusual and not a standard inflection.
