Exegesis
In the main clause ekópasen ho ánemos {ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος | ekópasen ho ánemos}, the aorist verb conveys an ingressive or culminative act of ceasing, and the verb–subject inversion foregrounds the sudden stopping of the wind. In English, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause to preserve both sequence and natural flow, and the aorist nuance guides the choice of “ceased” in formal and “stopped” in dynamic to reflect abrupt stilling.
Root and etymology
kopazōkopázō | kappa–omicron–pi–alpha–zeta–omega

In context — Matthew 14:32
