Sounds Like: lik-MAY-tor
Translations: winnowing fan, winnower, fan, a fan
From the root: ΛΙΚΜΗΤΩΡ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to a winnowing fan or a person who uses such a fan (a winnower). It is a tool used to separate grain from chaff, often by tossing the mixture into the air so the wind carries away the lighter chaff. In a metaphorical sense, it can represent a separator or one who purifies by removing the undesirable elements. The apostrophe at the end (keraia) indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 300. However, it is more likely a coronis, indicating an elision of a following word, such as ΛΙΚΜΗΤΩΡ' ἐστιν (likmētor' estin, 'it is a winnower'). Given the context, it most likely refers to the noun 'winnowing fan' or 'winnower'.
