verb | aor. ἐκέρασα · pf.pass. κεκέρασμαι | ἀκέραιος · ἄκρατος · συγκεράννυμι
63.9 · Whole, Unite, Part, Divide · Mix
to mix to mix substances, normally liquids Note that in the process of mixing, the various substances become a single mass, and the constituent parts are indistinguishable. For another interpretation of κεράννυμι in REV 14:10, see 47.3.
47.3 · Activities Involving Liquids or Masses · Movement of Liquids or Masses
to pour, to pour out to pour something out Since κεράννυμι normally means ‘to mix,’ it is possible to interpret the participial form κεκερασμένου in REV 14:10 as meaning ‘to be mixed’ (see 63.9), but this would seem to contradict in some measure the following adjective ἄκρατος ‘full strength, pure’ (79.99).
