Name of God’s Son

ΠΟΛΥΚΑΙ, πολυκαι

POLYKAI, polykai

Sounds Like: PO-loo-KAI

Translations: much, many, great, abundant, often, a lot

From the root: ΠΟΛΥΣ

Part of Speech: Adjective, Adverb

Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a garbled form of the Koine Greek word ΠΟΛΥΣ (polys), meaning 'much' or 'many'. It can function as an adjective describing quantity or an adverb indicating frequency or degree. In the provided context, it seems to be used to describe a large quantity of purple material. The ending '-ΚΑΙ' is not a standard inflection for ΠΟΛΥΣ, which typically inflects as ΠΟΛΥΣ, ΠΟΛΛΗ, ΠΟΛΥ.

Inflection: Likely a misspelling of an inflected form of ΠΟΛΥΣ. The expected inflections for 'much' or 'many' would vary by gender, number, and case (e.g., Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative; Singular, Plural; Masculine, Feminine, Neuter).

Strong’s number: G4183 (Lookup on BibleHub)
