Explanation: This word is a compound of the preposition 'ΠΕΡΙ' (peri), meaning 'around, about, concerning', and the conjunction 'ΓΑΡ' (gar), meaning 'for' or 'because'. It is not a standard Koine Greek word and appears to be a unique or possibly a garbled combination. It would logically mean 'for around' or 'for concerning', but it is not found in standard lexicons. It is likely a misspelling or a very rare, non-standard formation.
