Strong's Lexicon hupopleó: To sail under, to sail past Original Word: ὑποπλέω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ὑπό (hupo, meaning "under") and the verb πλέω (pleó, meaning "to sail"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hupopleó," as it is a term specific to Greek maritime vocabulary. However, the concept of sailing and navigation can be related to Hebrew terms for sea travel, such as יָם (yam, meaning "sea") and סָפִין (saphin, meaning "ship"). Usage: The verb "hupopleó" is used in the context of navigation and maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of sailing under the lee of an island or landmass. This term is employed to describe a strategic sailing maneuver where a ship passes on the sheltered side of a landform to avoid adverse weather conditions or to take advantage of calmer waters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, maritime travel was a common mode of transportation and trade. Sailors often had to navigate challenging weather conditions and relied on their knowledge of the sea and the landscape to ensure safe passage. Sailing under the lee of an island was a practical technique to avoid strong winds and rough seas, demonstrating the skill and experience of ancient mariners.
