Sounds Like: ah-lay-THAY-ahs kah-TEKH-een
Translations: of truth, to hold, to possess, to restrain
From the root: ἈΛΗΘΕΙΑ, ΚΑΤΕΧΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a garbled string of two separate Koine Greek words: ἈΛΗΘΕΙΑΣ (alētheias) and ΚΑΤΕΧΕΕΝ (katecheen). ἈΛΗΘΕΙΑΣ is the genitive singular form of the noun 'truth'. ΚΑΤΕΧΕΕΝ is likely a misspelling or an unusual form of the infinitive ΚΑΤΕΧΕΙΝ (katechein), meaning 'to hold fast', 'to possess', or 'to restrain'. The combination suggests a phrase like 'to hold of truth' or 'to possess truth'.
Inflection: ἈΛΗΘΕΙΑΣ: Singular, Genitive, Feminine. ΚΑΤΕΧΕΕΝ: Infinitive, Present, Active.
