Name of God’s Son

Redirected from ϲπιραιμι, replacing lunate sigma Ϲϲ with normal sigma Σσ/ς.

ΣΠΙΡΑΙΜΙ, σπιραιμι

SPIRAIMI, spiraimi

Sounds Like: SPEH-roh

Translations: I sow, I scatter, I spread

From the root: ΣΠΕΙΡΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a very rare/non-standard inflection of the Koine Greek verb "σπείρω" (speirō), which means "to sow," "to scatter," or "to spread." In its correct forms, it is used to describe the act of planting seeds, dispersing things, or propagating ideas. The ending "-AIMI" is not a standard Koine Greek verb ending, suggesting a possible scribal error or a highly unusual dialectal form.

Inflection: First Person Singular, Present Indicative (likely intended)

Strong’s number: G4687 (Lookup on BibleHub)

Unknown: Yes
