Exegesis
The first clause, pasa nesos ephugen {πᾶσα νῆσος ἔφυγεν | pâ-sa nê-sos é-phu-gen}, places the universal subject pasa nesos “every island” before the aorist verb ephugen “fled,” a vivid anthropomorphic portrayal of creation recoiling in the face of judgment.
Root and etymology
nesosnu–eta–sigma–omicron–sigma
“island, land in sea”
In context — Revelation 16:20
And every island fled, and the mountains were not found.
