Translations: they received fortune, they took over by chance, they took along luck
From the root: ΠΑΡΑΛΑΜΒΑΝΩ, ΤΥΧΗ
Part of Speech: Verb, Noun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or a phrase written as a single word, combining the verb 'παρέλαβον' (parelabon), meaning 'they received' or 'they took over,' and the noun 'τύχη' (tychē), meaning 'fortune,' 'luck,' or 'chance.' As a single word, 'ΠΑΡΕΛΑΒΟΝΤΥΧΗ' is not standard Koine Greek. It likely means 'they received fortune' or 'they took over by chance,' indicating that an action was completed with a certain outcome, possibly unexpected or fortunate. It's possible this is a scribal error or a unique construction.
