Translations: belly, womb, stomach, a belly, a womb, a stomach
From the root: ΚΟΙΛΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to the belly, stomach, or womb. It is often used to denote the physical organ or the entire abdominal region. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the innermost part of a person, sometimes metaphorically representing the seat of emotions or inner being. The prefix 'EN' (ἐν) means 'in' or 'within', suggesting a state of being inside the belly or womb, though 'ΕΝΚΟΙΛΙΑ' itself is not a standard compound word in Koine Greek and likely represents a specific usage or a less common form of 'κοιλία' with an implied 'in'.
