Translations: Oxe, Ox, a branch, a shoot, a sprout, a tendril, 860
From the root: ΩΞ
Part of Speech: Noun, Numeral
Explanation: This word, ΩΞʼ, can have two primary interpretations in Koine Greek. The first is as a proper noun, 'Oxe' or 'Ox', likely referring to a person's name, as seen in genealogical lists. The second interpretation arises from the final character, which is a keraia, indicating a numerical value. In this case, Ω represents 800 and Ξ represents 60, making the total value 860. Additionally, the word 'ῥώξ' (rhōx), which would appear as ΡΩΞ in uncial script, means 'a branch, a shoot, a sprout, or a tendril'. Given the example usage, particularly the first one mentioning 'branch in the cluster', it is highly probable that ΩΞʼ is a misspelling or variant of ΡΩΞʼ (rhōx), or a scribal error. The second example usage clearly points to a proper name 'Oxe'. Therefore, it could be a proper noun, a numeral, or a variant/misspelling of 'branch'.
Inflection: Singular, Nominative, Masculine or Feminine (for the proper noun/branch meaning); Does not inflect (for the numeral meaning)
