ECHONTESŌS, echontesōs
Sounds Like: EKH-on-tes HOHS
Translations: having as, holding as, possessing as, being as, as having, as holding
From the root: ἘΧΩ, ΩΣ
Part of Speech: Participle, Conjunction
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two separate Koine Greek words, likely concatenated due to a transcription error or specific manuscript style. The first part, ἘΧΟΝΤΕΣ (echontes), is the masculine plural nominative or accusative present active participle of the verb ἔχω (echō), meaning 'to have', 'to hold', 'to possess', or 'to be'. The second part, ΩΣ (hōs), is a particle or conjunction meaning 'as', 'like', 'how', 'that', or 'when'. Therefore, the combined meaning would be 'having as' or 'holding as', indicating a state of possessing something in a particular manner or capacity.
Inflection: ἘΧΟΝΤΕΣ: Present Active Participle, Masculine, Plural, Nominative or Accusative. ΩΣ: Does not inflect.
