"επειδήπερ"
Type: subordinating
Composition: ἐπεί (subordinating conjunction) + δή (particle) + περ (enclitic particle)
Function: introduces a subordinate clause; typically temporal ('when, since') and often causal ('since, because'), with δήπερ adding emphasis/pointedness ('indeed, precisely since')
Note on form: exact form επειδήπερ = ἐπειδήπερ (with elision/smoothing in continuous script); not a verb and therefore not applicable to -μι vs standard verb classification
