ΓΗΣΚΑΙ, γησκαι
GĒSKAI, gēskai
Sounds Like: GAYS-kai
Translations: of earth and, of land and
From the root: ΓΗ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Conjunction
Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase formed by the genitive singular form of the noun ΓΗ (gē), meaning 'earth' or 'land', combined with the conjunction ΚΑΙ (kai), meaning 'and'. It would typically be translated as 'of earth and' or 'of land and'. This is not a single word but rather two distinct words joined together without a space, which is unusual for standard Koine Greek texts and suggests a potential transcription error or a very specific, non-standard usage.
Inflection: ΓΗΣ: Singular, Genitive, Feminine; ΚΑΙ: Does not inflect
