ΑΙΛΩ, αιλω
AILŌ, ailō
Sounds Like: HAH-ee-loh
Translations: Chailon, Hiel
From the root: ΑΙΛΩΝ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word is a proper noun, specifically a masculine personal name. It refers to Hiel, a man from Bethel who rebuilt Jericho during the reign of Ahab, as mentioned in 1 Kings 16:34. The form 'ΑΙΛΩ' is likely a misspelling or a variant of 'ΑΙΛΩΝ' (Hiel) due to the lack of diacritics in the source text, or it could be a different name entirely, though 'Hiel' is the most common biblical name that closely matches this form. The provided examples show 'ΧΑΙΛΩΝ' which is the genitive form of 'ΧΑΙΛΩΝ' (Chailon), another proper name, possibly related to Hiel or a distinct individual.
Inflection: Nominative, Masculine, Singular (if 'ΑΙΛΩΝ'); or potentially a misspelling/variant of another name.
