Sounds Like: pay-KHOHN-deh
Translations: of cubits, four, of cubits, and, of cubits, but
From the root: ΠΗΧΥΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Numeral
Explanation: This word is a compound of the genitive plural form of the noun "ΠΗΧΥΣ" (pēchys), meaning "cubit" or "forearm," and the letter "Δ'" (delta with a keraia). The keraia indicates that "Δ'" functions as a numeral, representing the number 4. Therefore, "ΠΗΧΩΝΔ'" most literally means "of cubits, four." However, the "Δ'" could also represent an elision of the conjunction "δὲ" (de), meaning "but" or "and," which is a common usage in Koine Greek where the final vowel is dropped before a word starting with a vowel. Given the context of the example, it is most likely referring to a measurement of four cubits. It is a compound word made of the genitive plural of 'cubit' and the number 4.
Inflection: Plural, Genitive, Masculine or Neuter (from ΠΗΧΥΣ), combined with the numeral 4
