From the root: ΛΥΧΝΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is likely a compound of the noun 'ΛΥΧΝΙΑ' (lampstand) and the enclitic particle 'τε' (and). 'ΛΥΧΝΙΑ' refers to a stand for lamps or candles, often used in religious contexts. The form 'ΛΥΧΝΙΑΝ' is the accusative singular, indicating the direct object of a verb. The addition of 'τε' suggests a connection or continuation, meaning 'and a lampstand' or 'both a lampstand'. It is possible that 'ΛΥΧΝΙΑΝΤΕ' is a less common or archaic spelling, or a specific textual variant.
