Translations: of an ox, of a cow, of cattle
From the root: ΒΟΥΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is the genitive singular form of the noun 'βους' (bous), meaning 'ox' or 'cow'. It is used to indicate possession or origin, such as 'of an ox' or 'belonging to a cow'. The apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this form is a numeral, specifically the number 270. However, in ancient Greek texts, the keraia is often used to mark numbers, and it's less common for it to appear in a word like this unless it's a specific numerical context. Given the context of a word, it's more likely to be an orthographic variation or a specific textual tradition. In the absence of a numerical context, it should be interpreted as the genitive singular of 'βους'.
