Sounds Like: KHEI-ras
Translations: hands, a hand
From the root: ΧΕΙΡ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This is an inflected form of the Koine Greek noun 'χείρ' (cheir), meaning 'hand'. In this form, 'ΧΙΡΑΣ' typically functions as the accusative plural, referring to multiple hands as the direct object of a verb. It can also, less commonly, be interpreted as the nominative or accusative singular form of a first declension noun, but given the root 'χείρ', the accusative plural is the most common and appropriate interpretation.
Inflection: Plural, Accusative, Feminine
