Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is the stem or root form of the Koine Greek word for 'eye' (ophthalmos). It refers to the organ of sight. In ancient Greek, it could also metaphorically refer to one's vision, understanding, or perception. It is often used in contexts related to physical sight, but also in spiritual or metaphorical senses, such as 'the eyes of the heart' or 'having eyes to see'.
Inflection: This is a stem form, not a fully inflected word. The full noun 'ophthalmos' is Masculine, and inflects for number and case (e.g., nominative singular: ΟΦΘΑΛΜΟΣ, genitive singular: ΟΦΘΑΛΜΟΥ, dative singular: ΟΦΘΑΛΜΩ, accusative singular: ΟΦΘΑΛΜΟΝ, nominative plural: ΟΦΘΑΛΜΟΙ, etc.).
