Revelation 18:2

έκραξεν aor. ind. act. от κράζω (G2896) кричать, восклицать, выкрикивать громким голосом,
επεσεν aor. ind. act. от πίπτω (G4098) падать (см. Revelation 14:8; Isaiah 21:9). Предвосхищающие аористы повторяются как торжественная панихида или жалоба проклятых (RWP).
έγένετο aor. ind. med. (dep.) от γίνομαι (G1096) становиться,
κατοικητήριον (G2732) место жительства,
φυλακή (G5438) тюрьма, место заключения,
όρνεον (G3732) птица,
άκάθαρτος (G169) нечистый,
μεμισημένου perf. pass. part. от μισέω (G3404) ненавидеть.
