From the root: ΧΕΙΡ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or an unusual inflection of the Koine Greek word ΧΕΙΡ (cheir), which means 'hand'. It can refer to a literal hand, or metaphorically to power, strength, or agency. In context, it often describes the means by which something is done or the power exerted by someone. It is typically used in various cases to indicate possession, instrument, or location.
Inflection: Likely a misspelling or variant of a dative singular or plural form of the noun ΧΕΙΡ. If it were a dative singular, it would typically be ΧΕΙΡΙ. If it were a dative plural, it would typically be ΧΕΡΣΙΝ. Given the context, it might be intended as a dative singular, possibly meaning 'by hand' or 'with power'.
