Sounds Like: kah-EE LAH-ohs (if ΚΑΙ ΛΑΟΣ); kah-EE bah-see-LEH-ohs (if ΚΑΙ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ)
Translations: people, a people, multitude, nation
From the root: ΛΑΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of 'ΚΑΙ ΛΑΟΣ' (kai laos), meaning 'and people'. The double 'ι' (ii) is not standard in Koine Greek. If it is 'ΚΑΙ ΛΑΟΣ', it refers to a group of people, a multitude, or a nation. It is often used in the context of 'the people' of God or a specific group within a population. It can also be a misspelling of 'ΚΑΙ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ' (kai basileōs), meaning 'and of a king' or 'and of the king', which is the genitive singular of 'βασιλεύς' (basileus), meaning 'king'. Given the context 'from small to great', 'people' or 'king' are both plausible, but 'people' is more common in such phrases.
Inflection: Singular, Nominative, Masculine (if ΛΑΟΣ); Singular, Genitive, Masculine (if ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ)
