ΣΚΑΦΗΔ', σκαφηδ'
SKAPHĒD', skaphēd'
Sounds Like: ska-FEE
Translations: boat, a boat, skiff, a skiff, trough, a trough, bowl, a bowl
From the root: ΣΚΑΦΗ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a rare/dialectal form of ΣΚΑΦΗ (SKAPHĒ), which refers to a light boat or skiff, or more generally, a hollowed-out vessel like a trough or bowl. The apostrophe at the end (Δ') is unusual for a standard inflection. It could potentially indicate an elision of a following word starting with delta, such as διά (dia, 'through' or 'by means of'), or δέ (de, 'but' or 'and'). However, without further context, it's most probable that it's a scribal error or a non-standard abbreviation for ΣΚΑΦΗ.
Inflection: Singular, Nominative or Accusative, Feminine (assuming it's related to ΣΚΑΦΗ)
Strong’s number: G4627 (Lookup on BibleHub)
Unknown: Yes
