Dear Justin,
You write:

>"IDIA" is some form of "IDIOS" meaning "one's own", and "TH GH" means "the
>earth (or land)", but I can't piece together.

hEWRAKA seems to be the perfect of hORAW, meaning "I have seen."
EKHRUXAN seems to be the aorist third person plural of KHRUSSW, meaning
"they preached."
Yours,
