Translations: of those having closed, of those having been shut, of those having been silent, of those having been initiated

From the root: ΜΥΩ

Part of Speech: Participle, Adjective

Explanation: ΜΕΜΥΚΟΤΩΝ is the genitive plural perfect active participle of the verb μύω. It describes a state of having closed, having been shut, or having been silent. It can also refer to those who have been initiated into mysteries, as the act of initiation often involved closing one's eyes or mouth to secrets. As a participle, it functions adjectivally, modifying a noun in the genitive case, or substantively, acting as a noun itself.
