ΒΑΣΑΝΟΝΗ, βασανονη
BASANONĒ, basanonē
Sounds Like: bah-SAH-noh-nee
Translations: torture, torment, a torment, pain, a pain, test, a test, touchstone, a touchstone
From the root: ΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling of the Koine Greek word "ΒΑΣΑΝΟΝ" (basanon), which is the accusative singular form of "ΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ" (basanos). It refers to a test, a touchstone (a stone used to test the purity of gold), or more commonly, torture or torment. It is used to describe severe physical or mental suffering.
Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Feminine (assuming it's a misspelling of ΒΑΣΑΝΟΝ, which is neuter, but the root ΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ is feminine. Given the ending -η, it could be a nominative/vocative feminine singular if it were a different declension, but for ΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ, the accusative singular neuter is -ον. The -η ending is highly irregular for this word, suggesting a misspelling or a very rare/poetic form. If it were a nominative feminine, it would be ΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ. If it were a dative feminine, it would be ΒΑΣΑΝΩ. Given the context, it's most likely intended as an accusative singular, hence the assumption of a misspelling of ΒΑΣΑΝΟΝ).
