ΕΝΠΛΗΣΙ, ενπλησι
ENPLĒSI, enplēsi
Sounds Like: en-PLEH-see
Translations: near, nearby, close, neighbor
From the root: ΠΛΗΣΙΟΝ
Part of Speech: Adverb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a variant form of the Koine Greek word 'πλησίον' (plesion), which means 'near' or 'nearby'. It is commonly used to indicate proximity in location or relationship. It can also refer to a 'neighbor' when used as a substantive. The prefix 'ΕΝ-' (en-) typically means 'in' or 'into', but its combination here with 'πλησίον' is not standard and suggests a possible scribal error or a very rare, perhaps dialectal, form. Given the context of ancient manuscripts lacking diacritics, it's possible it's a misreading or a phonetic spelling.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as an adverb)
