Sounds Like: sah-LEEM
Translations: Salem
From the root: ΣΑΛΗΜ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun referring to Salem, an ancient city mentioned in the Bible. It is often identified with Jerusalem, particularly in its earlier history or poetic references. The apostrophe at the end, a keraia, indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 200,038 in the Koine Greek system. However, in the context of a proper noun, it is almost certainly a misspelling or a scribal error for the city name.
Inflection: Does not inflect (when used as a proper noun). When used as a numeral, it is indeclinable.
