Translations: unknown
From the root: ΚΑΙ, ΜΑΧΑΙΡΙΟΝ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled combination of two separate Koine Greek words: 'ΚΑΙ' (kai), meaning 'and' or 'also', and 'ΜΑΧΑΙΡΙΟΝ' (machairion), meaning 'a small sword', 'dagger', or 'knife'. It is not a recognized word in Koine Greek. It's possible there was a transcription error, or the two words were mistakenly joined together.
