ESSĒNOIPERI, essēnoiperi
Sounds Like: es-SEE-noy-PEH-ree
Translations: unknown
From the root: ἘΣΣΗΝΟΙ, ΠΕΡΙ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two distinct Koine Greek words: ἘΣΣΗΝΟΙ (Essēnoi), meaning 'Essenes' (a Jewish sect), and ΠΕΡΙ (peri), meaning 'about' or 'concerning'. The combination 'ἘΣΣΗΝΟΙΠΕΡΙ' is not a standard or recognized word in Koine Greek. It is highly probable that this is a scribal error, a misspelling, or a unique, non-standard juxtaposition of the two words that should have been written separately (e.g., 'περὶ Ἐσσηνῶν' meaning 'concerning the Essenes'). As a single word, its meaning is unclear and it is not found in standard lexicons. It is likely a garbled or badly misspelled text.
