Translations: most fiery, most burning, she brandished away, she shook off
From the root: ΠΥΡΩΔΗΣ, ἈΠΟΠΑΛΛΩ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase rather than a single word, combining an inflected adjective and an inflected verb. The first part, ΠΥΡΩΔΕΣΤΑΤΗΝ, is the accusative singular feminine form of the superlative adjective 'fiery' or 'burning'. The second part, ἈΠΕΠΑΛΛΕΝ, is the third person singular aorist active indicative of the verb ἀποπάλλω, meaning 'to brandish away' or 'to shake off'. Together, it could describe something like 'she brandished away the most fiery thing' or 'she shook off the most burning thing'.
Inflection: ΠΥΡΩΔΕΣΤΑΤΗΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine, Superlative. ἈΠΕΠΑΛΛΕΝ: Third Person, Singular, Aorist, Active, Indicative.
