Sounds Like: NEE-soos AH-na-teh-THEH-kee-nai
Translations: islands, to have dedicated
From the root: ΝΗΣΟΣ, ΑΝΑΤΙΘΗΜΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words: 'ΝΗΣΟΥΣ' (nēsous), meaning 'islands' (the accusative plural of 'νῆσος'), and 'ἈΝΑΤΕΘΕΙΚΕΝΑΙ' (anatetheikenai), meaning 'to have dedicated' (the perfect active infinitive of 'ἀνατίθημι'). The combination suggests a phrase like 'to have dedicated islands' or 'islands to have dedicated'. It's not a single word but a concatenation of two distinct words.
Inflection: ΝΗΣΟΥΣ: Plural, Accusative, Feminine; ἈΝΑΤΕΘΕΙΚΕΝΑΙ: Perfect, Active, Infinitive
