Translations: having gone forth empty, having advanced empty, having come forward empty
From the root: ΠΡΟΕΡΧΟΜΑΙ, ΚΕΝΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by the concatenation of two separate Koine Greek words: 'προελθών' (proelthōn) and 'κενήν' (kenēn). 'Προελθών' is the aorist active participle of the verb 'προέρχομαι' (proerchomai), meaning 'to go forth, come forward, advance'. 'Κενήν' is the accusative singular feminine form of the adjective 'κενός' (kenos), meaning 'empty, void, vain'. When combined, it describes someone or something that has gone forth or advanced and is in an empty state, often referring to a place being empty of people.
