POLEŌSEPITREPEIN, poleōsepitrepein

Sounds Like: POH-leh-ohss, eh-pee-TREH-pine

Translations: of a city, of a town, to permit, to allow, to entrust, to give permission

From the root: ΠΟΛΙΣ, ΕΠΙΤΡΕΠΩ

Part of Speech: Noun, Verb

Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two separate Koine Greek words concatenated without a space: 'ΠΟΛΕΩΣ' (poleōs) and 'ἘΠΙΤΡΕΠΕΙΝ' (epitrepein). 'ΠΟΛΕΩΣ' is the genitive singular form of the noun 'πόλις', meaning 'city' or 'town'. 'ἘΠΙΤΡΕΠΕΙΝ' is the present active infinitive of the verb 'ἐπιτρέπω', meaning 'to permit', 'to allow', or 'to entrust'. Therefore, the combined phrase would mean 'to permit/allow/entrust of a city' or 'to permit/allow/entrust a city'. This construction suggests an action related to granting authority or permission concerning a city.

Inflection: ΠΟΛΕΩΣ: Singular, Genitive, Feminine; ἘΠΙΤΡΕΠΕΙΝ: Present, Active, Infinitive
