Sounds Like: TEK-nah
Translations: children, sons, daughters
From the root: ΤΕΚΝΟΝ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to children, offspring, or descendants. It is often used in a literal sense for biological children, but can also be used metaphorically to refer to spiritual children or followers. The apostrophe at the end (keraia) indicates that this form is likely an abbreviation or a numeral, but in this context, it is almost certainly an elision marker (coronis) for a crasis, or simply a scribal mark, and the word is an inflected form of 'τέκνον'.
Inflection: Plural, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter
