Justin:
Help is in your own hands ( or mouse, as the case may be <g> )
Go to:  http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/morphindex?lang=greek
This gives you a tool called:
Perseus Word Study Tool --Morphological Analyses for Inflected Greek Words

Before you can enter the word you are seeking to analyse, you should read:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Help/fonthelp.html

and then return to the first page, and click on "Configure Display".
If you are happy to see the results in transliterated form, fine -- but 
they _do_ look a lot better ( and to me, more comprehensible ) if you 
choose a Greek font.
You should note that the word which is puzzling you is transliterated by 
you as:
EKHRUXAN will be entered as EKHRUCAN (i.e ksi = C rather than X ), 
depending on which font you have opted for.
For a PC Windows user, I would recommend SGreek -- others may have their 
preferences.
As you will see, having used this tool to identify the form which is 
puzzling you, you  are then only a click away from either the "middle" 
Liddell and Scott or the big LSJ lexicons.

Enjoy!
