B-Greekers:

I realize this request is somewhat trivial, but while reading Num.32
this morning, I was impressed by a ten syllable word in v.30 --

SUGKATAKLHRONOMHQHSONTAI

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a longer verb in biblical
literature.
(It doesn't hurt that it is 3rd pers. pl., fut. pass. form.)

The longest one I can recall in the NT is the aor. infin.
ANAKEFALAIWSASQAI, Ep.1:10.

I'm sure some of you can remember longer ones and, if you have time,
won't mind sharing them.

Thanks.

Rick Duggin
