Sounds Like: MAY-lon
Translations: apple, a fruit, fruit, sheep, a sheep, flock, a flock
From the root: ΜΗΛΟΝ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word can refer to a fruit, specifically an apple, or more generally to any tree fruit. In a different context, it can also refer to sheep or a flock of sheep. The meaning depends on the context and the original diacritics, as the word for 'fruit' (μῆλον) and 'sheep' (μῆλον) are homographs without diacritics. The provided example usage (referring to 'fig trees', 'pomegranates', and 'palm trees') suggests the 'fruit' meaning is more likely in that context, but the 'sheep/flock' meaning is also possible in other Koine texts.
