Translations: John, the John, the
From the root: ἸΩΑΝΝΗΣ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Article
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a misspelling. It combines the proper noun 'Ἰωάννης' (Ioannes), meaning 'John', with the neuter definite article 'το' (to), meaning 'the'. In Koine Greek, proper nouns are typically used with or without an article, but not usually fused into a single word like this. It most likely refers to 'John' and 'the' (referring to something neuter that follows). It could be a scribal error or a very unusual contraction.
