ΜΕΝἘΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ, μενἐκεινους
MENEKEINOUS, menekeinous
Sounds Like: MEN eh-KAY-noos
Translations: indeed, truly, on the one hand, those, them
From the root: ΜΕΝ, ἘΚΕΙΝΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adverb, Pronoun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a misspelling, likely combining the particle 'ΜΕΝ' (men) with the demonstrative pronoun 'ἘΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ' (ekeinous). 'ΜΕΝ' is a particle often used to indicate a contrast or to introduce a clause, often translated as 'indeed' or 'on the one hand'. 'ἘΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ' is the masculine accusative plural of 'ἘΚΕΙΝΟΣ', meaning 'those' or 'them'. The combination 'ΜΕΝἘΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ' is not a standard Koine Greek word. It is most probable that the apostrophe is a coronis indicating an elision, but the resulting word 'ΜΕΝΕΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ' is still not a recognized form. It is highly likely a garbled or misspelled form of 'ΜΕΝ ἘΚΕΙΝΟΥΣ' (men ekeinous), meaning 'indeed those' or 'those, on the one hand'.
