ἈΝΤΙΦΙΛΟΥΚΑΙ, ἀντιφιλουκαι
ANTIPHILOUKAI, antiphiloukai
Sounds Like: AN-tee-FEE-loo-KAI
Translations: and, also, even, instead of, in return for, opposite to, of a friend, of the beloved
From the root: ΑΝΤΙ, ΦΙΛΟΣ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Conjunction, Preposition, Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound word or a phrase joined together, likely a misspelling or a very unusual form. It seems to combine the preposition 'ἈΝΤΙ' (anti), meaning 'instead of' or 'opposite to', with the genitive singular of 'ΦΙΛΟΣ' (philos), meaning 'of a friend' or 'of the beloved', and the conjunction 'ΚΑΙ' (kai), meaning 'and' or 'also'. The combination 'ἈΝΤΙΦΙΛΟΥΚΑΙ' as a single word is not standard Koine Greek. It is highly probable that this is a transcription error, a garbled word, or a very rare and non-standard compound. If it were to be interpreted, it would likely mean something like 'and instead of a friend' or 'and opposite to a friend'.
Inflection: Unknown, likely a combination of a preposition, a genitive singular noun, and a conjunction.
