Translations: sea, the sea, a sea
From the root: ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: The word 'ΘΑΛΑ' is not a complete word in Koine Greek. It is almost certainly a truncated or misspelled form of 'ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑ' (thalassa), which means 'sea' or 'lake'. In ancient manuscripts, words were often written without spaces or diacritics, and sometimes abbreviations or slight variations occurred. Given the provided context, it clearly refers to the 'sea'. It would be used to refer to a large body of salt water.
Inflection: Likely a truncated or misspelled form of a Feminine Noun, possibly Nominative, Accusative, or Dative Singular, depending on the full word it represents.
