ΜΕΝΠΟΛΕΩΣ, μενπολεως
MENPOLEŌS, menpoleōs
Sounds Like: men-POH-le-ohs
Translations: (of) the city, (of) a city
From the root: ΠΟΛΙΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is a compound of the particle 'μεν' (men), meaning 'indeed' or 'on the one hand', and 'πόλεως' (poleōs), which is the genitive singular form of 'πόλις' (polis), meaning 'city'. While 'μεν' is typically a separate particle used for emphasis or contrast, in this context, 'ΜΕΝΠΟΛΕΩΣ' appears to be a specific, possibly archaic or regional, genitive form of 'πόλις' or a proper noun referring to a particular city, perhaps emphasizing its status or role. It functions as a genitive noun, indicating possession or relationship, often translated as 'of the city'.
