Translations: unknown
From the root: ΚΟΛΠΟΣ, ΞΙΦΟΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two distinct Koine Greek words: ΚΟΛΠΟΙΣ (kolpois), which is the dative plural of ΚΟΛΠΟΣ (kolpos), meaning 'bosoms', 'gulfs', or 'bays'; and ΞΙΦΗ (xiphē), which is the nominative or accusative plural of ΞΙΦΟΣ (xiphos), meaning 'swords'. The combination 'ΚΟΛΠΟΙΣΞΙΦΗ' is not a recognized word in Koine Greek and is highly likely a misspelling, a garbled text, or a unique, non-standard coinage. It's not clear what this specific combination would mean.
