ΙΣΜΑΗΛʼ, ισμαηλʼ
ISMAĒLʼ, ismaēlʼ
Sounds Like: iss-mah-EL
Translations: Ishmael
From the root: ΙΣΜΑΗΛ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun referring to Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar, and the half-brother of Isaac. The final apostrophe-like character (keraia) indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 10,000. However, in the context of a name, it is more likely a scribal mark or a misinterpretation of an elision or a simple apostrophe, as proper nouns are not typically used as numerals in this way. If it were an elision (coronis), it would indicate a contraction, but 'Ishmael' is a complete name. Therefore, it most likely refers to the biblical figure Ishmael.
Inflection: Singular, Masculine, Nominative, Genitive, Dative, or Accusative (indeclinable proper noun)
