Explanation: This word, ΛΗΜΜΑ, primarily means 'receipt,' 'revenue,' 'profit,' or 'gain.' It refers to something received or taken, often in a financial or material sense. When followed by a keraia (ʼ), as in ΛΗΜΜΑʼ, it functions as a numeral. In the Greek numerical system, letters represent numbers. ΛΗΜΜΑʼ would represent the number 118, formed by adding the values of its letters (Lambda=30, Eta=8, Mu=40, Mu=40, Alpha=1). Therefore, depending on context, it can be a noun meaning 'gain' or a numeral representing '118'.
