Exegesis
The future verb heixousin {ἥξουσιν | hḗ-xou-sin} ‘they will come’ precedes its explicit subject, the articular noun phrase hai plegai autes {αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς | hai plē-gaí au-tês} ‘her plagues’, allowing an appositional buildup.
Root and etymology
plegpi–lambda–eta–gamma
“a blow, strike”
In context — Revelation 18:8
For this reason, in one day her plagues will come—death, and mourning, and famine—and she will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.
