Sounds Like: PEER
Translations: fire, a fire
From the root: ΠΥΡ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word, 'ΠΙΡΑΝ', appears to be a misspelling or a scribal error for 'ΠΥΡ' (pyr), which means 'fire'. In Koine Greek, 'ΠΥΡ' is a neuter noun. It is commonly used to refer to literal fire, but can also be used metaphorically for judgment, purification, or divine presence. The provided example usage, 'ΠΥΡ ἈΛΛΑ ΥΔΩΡ', strongly suggests the intended word was 'fire' in contrast to 'water'.
