ΚΑΙΛΙΘΟΙΣ, καιλιθοις
KAILITHOIS, kailithois
Sounds Like: LI-thoys
Translations: stones, with stones, by stones
From the root: ΛΙΘΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of 'λίθος' (lithos), meaning 'stone'. The initial 'ΚΑΙ' appears to be a misspelling or a typographical error, as 'καὶ λίθοις' (kai lithois) would mean 'and with stones'. As a single word 'ΚΑΙΛΙΘΟΙΣ', it is not a recognized Koine Greek word. If it were a legitimate word, it would refer to multiple stones and be used in a dative case context, indicating 'to/for/with/by stones'.
Inflection: Plural, Dative, Masculine
