Sounds Like: EF-rem
Translations: Ephraim, of Ephraim
From the root: ΕΦΡΕΜ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: Ephraim is a proper noun, referring to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's son Ephraim. It can also refer to the territory occupied by this tribe or the northern kingdom of Israel, as Ephraim was the dominant tribe within it. The apostrophe at the end (keraia) indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 5, but in this context, it is clearly a proper noun and the apostrophe likely indicates a genitive case or an elision, though it's most commonly seen as a genitive marker in this usage.
