Exegesis
The noun phrase anemos ty-phō-ni-kós {ἄνεμος τυφωνικὸς | á-ne-mos ty-phō-ni-kós} ‘a typhonic wind’ functions as subject, modified by the participle ho ka-loú-me-nos {ὁ καλούμενος | ho ka-loú-me-nos} ‘called,’ which attaches the specific name Euraký-lōn {Εὐρακύλων | Eu-ra-ký-lōn} to identify the gale. English rendering adopts subject–verb–object order to preserve clarity and the abrupt sense of collision.
Root and etymology
typhōntau–upsilon–phi–omega–nu
“whirlwind, storm wind”
In context — Acts 27:14
But after a short time, a violent wind called Eurakylon came down upon it.
