ΙΕΡΟΥΤΑ, ιερουτα
IEROUTA, ierouta
Sounds Like: ee-eh-ROO-tah
Translations: sacred, holy, a sacred place, a holy place, of a sacred place, of a holy place
From the root: ΙΕΡΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This word is likely an unusual or possibly misspelled form of a word derived from 'ἱερός' (hieros), meaning 'sacred' or 'holy'. In its standard forms, 'hieros' can function as an adjective meaning 'sacred' or 'holy', or as a noun referring to a sacred place or temple. The ending '-ουτα' is not a standard Koine Greek inflection. It might be a transliteration, a very rare or late form, or a scribal error. If it were a genitive singular, the expected form would be 'ἱεροῦ' (hieros) for masculine/neuter or 'ἱερᾶς' (hieras) for feminine. Given the context 'ΤΟΥ ΙΕΡΟΥΤΑ', it appears to be used in a genitive sense, possibly referring to 'of the sacred' or 'of a sacred place'.
Inflection: Likely Genitive, Singular, Masculine or Neuter (if derived from ἱερός), but the ending -ουτα is non-standard.
