ΘΕΜΙΤΗΝΟΔΟΝ, θεμιτηνοδον
THEMITĒNODON, themitēnodon
Sounds Like: the-MEE-teen-OH-don
Translations: lawful way, right way, a lawful way, a right way
From the root: ΘΕΜΙΣ, ΟΔΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two separate Koine Greek words, "ΘΕΜΙΤΗΝ" (themitēn), which is the accusative feminine singular of the adjective "θέμιτος" (themitos), meaning 'lawful' or 'right', and "ΟΔΟΝ" (hodon), which is the accusative feminine singular of the noun "ὁδός" (hodos), meaning 'way' or 'road'. The combination as a single word "ΘΕΜΙΤΗΝΟΔΟΝ" is highly unusual and not a standard Koine Greek word. It is most likely a scribal error, a misspelling, or a garbled text where two words that should be separate have been joined together. If it were intended as a single concept, it would mean 'lawful way' or 'right way'.
Inflection: Accusative, Singular, Feminine (compound of an adjective and a noun)
