YMETEROISMĒCHANAS, ymeteroismēchanas
Sounds Like: YOO-meh-TEH-roys MEE-khah-NAS
Translations: your devices, your machines, your plans, your contrivances, your schemes
From the root: ΥΜΕΤΕΡΟΣ, ΜΗΧΑΝΗ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This appears to be a concatenation of two Koine Greek words: ΥΜΕΤΕΡΟΙΣ (hymeterois) and ΜΗΧΑΝΑΣ (mēchanas). ΥΜΕΤΕΡΟΙΣ is a possessive adjective meaning 'your' (plural, dative case, masculine or neuter). ΜΗΧΑΝΑΣ is a noun meaning 'devices,' 'machines,' 'plans,' or 'schemes' (accusative plural, feminine). When combined, they would mean 'your devices' or 'your plans.' This form suggests a dative plural adjective modifying an accusative plural noun, which is grammatically unusual unless there's an implied verb or preposition that makes sense of the case difference, or it's a scribal error.
Inflection: ΥΜΕΤΕΡΟΙΣ: Dative, Plural, Masculine or Neuter. ΜΗΧΑΝΑΣ: Accusative, Plural, Feminine.
