Sounds Like: om-pha-LOU
Translations: of the navel, of the belly button, of the center, of the middle
From the root: ΟΜΦΑΛΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is the genitive singular form of 'ομφαλός' (omphalos), which means 'navel' or 'belly button'. It can also refer more broadly to the center or middle of something. In ancient texts, it is often used literally for the human navel, but can also be used metaphorically to denote a central point or core. The apostrophe at the end is likely a keraia (a numerical marker) for the letter Upsilon (Υ), which represents the number 700 in Koine Greek. However, in this context, it functions as part of the word 'ομφαλου', indicating the genitive case.
