ΤΑΧΟΥΣἘΠΙ, ταχουσἐπι
TACHOUSEPI, tachousepi
Sounds Like: TA-khoos EP-ee
Translations: quickly, swiftly, upon, on, over, to, against
From the root: ΤΑΧΥΣ, ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Adverb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by 'τάχους' (takhous), the genitive singular of 'τάχος' (takhos), meaning 'speed' or 'swiftness', and 'ἐπί' (epi), a preposition meaning 'upon', 'on', 'over', 'to', or 'against'. When combined, 'τάχους' often functions adverbially, meaning 'quickly' or 'swiftly'. The combination 'τάχους ἐπί' is unusual and suggests a potential misspelling or a very specific, perhaps idiomatic, construction. It could imply 'swiftly upon' or 'quickly towards'. Given the unusual combination, it's possible this is a garbled or misspelled form of a more common phrase or word.
Inflection: Genitive Singular (for τάχους), Does not inflect (for ἐπί)
