Sounds Like: nee-KAY-seh EKH-oo-ras

Translations: he conquered the strong, she conquered the strong, it conquered the strong, he conquered the fortified, she conquered the fortified, it conquered the fortified

From the root: ΝΙΚΑΩ, ΕΧΥΡΟΣ

Part of Speech: Verb, Adjective

Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase or a misspelling. It most likely combines a form of the verb 'νικάω' (nikao), meaning 'to conquer' or 'to overcome', with a form of the adjective 'ἐχυρός' (echyros), meaning 'strong' or 'fortified'. The first part, 'ΝΙΚΗΣΕ', is likely the third person singular aorist active indicative of 'νικάω', meaning 'he/she/it conquered'. The second part, '̓ΧΥΡΑΣ', is likely the feminine accusative plural of 'ἐχυρός', meaning 'strong (things/people)' or 'fortified (places)'. Therefore, the phrase would mean 'he/she/it conquered the strong (ones)' or 'he/she/it conquered the fortified (places)'. The apostrophe before 'ΧΥΡΑΣ' indicates an elision, where a vowel at the end of the preceding word has been dropped.

Inflection: Third Person Singular, Aorist, Active, Indicative (for ΝΙΚΗΣΕ); Accusative, Plural, Feminine (for ἘΧΥΡΑΣ)
