ΙΩΤΑΠΑΤΟΙΣ, ιωταπατοις
IŌTAPATOIS, iōtapatois
Sounds Like: ee-oh-TAH-pah-toys
Translations: iotas, the smallest parts, the least significant things
From the root: ΙΩΤΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is a compound word, likely formed from 'ΙΩΤΑ' (Iota), the name of the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet, and a form of 'ΠΑΤΟΣ' (patos), meaning 'tread, path, step'. However, the combination 'ΙΩΤΑΠΑΤΟΙΣ' is not a standard or recognized word in Koine Greek lexicons. It appears to be a neologism or a highly unusual formation. Given the context of 'iota' often referring to something very small or insignificant (as in 'jot or tittle'), 'ΙΩΤΑΠΑΤΟΙΣ' could metaphorically refer to 'the smallest steps' or 'the most insignificant things/details'. It is highly probable that this word is a unique or rare coinage, or possibly a misspelling of another word, though no obvious alternative comes to mind. Its usage would imply dealing with the minutiae or the least important aspects of something.
Inflection: Plural, Dative, Masculine or Neuter
