Sounds Like: el-pi-DON-teen
Translations: of hopes, the, the hopes
From the root: ἘΛΠΙΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Article
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two separate words: ἘΛΠΙΔΩΝ (ELPIDŌN), which is the genitive plural of the noun ἘΛΠΊΣ (ELPIS), meaning 'hope', and ΤΗΝ (TĒN), which is the accusative singular feminine form of the definite article 'the'. When combined as 'ἘΛΠΙΔΩΝ ΤΗΝ', it would typically mean 'the (one) of hopes' or 'the hopes'. It is likely that the two words were written together without a space in the original text, which was common in ancient manuscripts (scriptio continua).
