ΤΟΥΚΛΗΡΟΥ, τουκληρου

TOUKLĒROU, touklērou

Sounds Like: too KLEE-roo

Translations: of the lot, of the inheritance, of the portion, of the share, of the clergy

From the root: ΚΛΗΡΟΣ

Part of Speech: Noun, Article

Explanation: This is a compound phrase consisting of the definite article 'τοῦ' (tou) meaning 'the' and the noun 'κλήρου' (klērou), which is the genitive singular form of 'κλῆρος' (klēros). The word 'κλῆρος' refers to a lot, an inheritance, a portion, or a share. In some contexts, it can also refer to the clergy or a specific group chosen by lot. Therefore, 'τοῦ κλήρου' means 'of the lot,' 'of the inheritance,' or 'of the portion.' It is used to indicate possession or origin, similar to 'belonging to the lot' or 'from the inheritance.'

Inflection: Singular, Genitive, Masculine or Neuter
