Sounds Like: PEN-thos-OW-tine
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΠΕΝΘΟΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a highly unusual or garbled form of a Koine Greek word. It is not found in standard Koine Greek lexicons or texts. It seems to combine the noun ΠΕΝΘΟΣ (penthos), meaning 'grief' or 'mourning', with a suffix that is not standard. The ending '-αυταιν' does not correspond to any known inflectional ending in Koine Greek for nouns, adjectives, or verbs. It is possible it is a very rare poetic form, a scribal error, or a word from a different dialect or period. Without further context or correction, its meaning cannot be determined.
