ἘΘΝΟΣΑΥ̓ΤΟΙ, ἐθνοσαὐτοι
ETHNOSAUTOI, ethnosautoi
Sounds Like: ETH-nos AH-too-ee
Translations: nation, a nation, people, a people, Gentiles, they themselves, to them, for them
From the root: ΕΘΝΟΣ, ΑΥΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Pronoun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or, more likely, a scribal error where two distinct words, 'ἔθνος' (ethnos) and 'αὐτοί' (autoi), have been written together without a space. 'Ἔθνος' refers to a nation, people, or Gentiles. 'Αὐτοί' is a pronoun meaning 'they themselves' or 'to/for them'. When combined, it would literally mean 'the nation themselves' or 'to/for the nation themselves', but this is not a standard Koine Greek compound. It is highly probable that the original text intended to have a space between 'ἔθνος' and 'αὐτοί'.
Inflection: Neuter, Singular, Nominative or Accusative (for ἔθνος); Masculine, Plural, Nominative or Dative (for αὐτοί)
