ΠΟΙΜΝΙΑʼ, ποιμνιαʼ
POIMNIAʼ, poimniaʼ
Sounds Like: poym-NEE-ah
Translations: flock, a flock, a little flock
From the root: ΠΟΙΜΝΙΟΝ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to a flock of sheep or goats, or metaphorically, a group of people under the care of a leader, such as a church congregation under a pastor. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, specifically the number 81. However, in the provided context, it is clearly functioning as a noun, meaning 'flocks'. The keraia here is likely a scribal error or a non-standard use, as the word 'flocks' would typically be written as ΠΟΙΜΝΙΑ.
