Translations: great in height, high and great, very high, very great
From the root: ΥΨΟΣ, ΜΕΓΑΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Adverb
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound word, likely formed from 'ὕψος' (hypsos), meaning 'height' or 'high', and 'μέγας' (megas), meaning 'great' or 'large'. It would describe something that is great in height or very high. It could function as an adjective, modifying a noun to describe its great height, or as an adverb, describing an action performed to a great height or in a very high manner. It is not a standard or commonly attested word in Koine Greek texts, suggesting it might be a rare or unique formation, or possibly a scribal error or a very specific descriptive term.
