This is the way Jesus usually uses it. It is not the word form usually translated as "of." CW --Confusing Word -- The "of" does not capture the word's specific meaning.

περιάγετε [1 verse] (verb 2nd pl pres ind act) "Ye compass" is periago, which means "to lead around," "to lead about with oneself," "carry about for sale," "to go about," "to walk about," turn round," "turn about," "pass round," "protract," "bring round to," "around" a period, "cause to revolve," and in the passive, "to rotate."

However, it should be noted that Christ uses another Greek word meaning "the heart" to refer to the human seat of emotions, which is also discussed in the article above. The sense here is that Christ is using this term to describe his life in this word, so "so sad" or "pathetic" might work. This phrase might be more humorous and self-deprecating than it appears. However, it is also an accurate description of the remainder of his life.

πετεινὰ [13 verses](adj pl neut acc) "Birds" is peteinon, which as an adjective means "able to fly," "full-fledged," and "winged," and, as a noun, "winged fowl," and "a bird." There was clearly a conscious choice here not to use the Greek word for bird, which is ornis, or, in the diminutive, ornithion. All the English words referring to birds coming from Greek begin with this "ornith" prefix, including ornithology, the study of birds. - The Greek word translated as "birds" is normally an adjective means "able to fly" and "winged," but it is used as a noun here, so "winged-ones" or, more simply, "birds."
