Translations: fox, a fox
From the root: ΑΛΩΠΗΞ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to a fox, a cunning animal known for its slyness. In ancient Greek literature, it is often used metaphorically to describe a clever or deceitful person. The final apostrophe is a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 1301. However, it is much more likely to be a coronis, indicating an elision, but in this specific word, it's not a common elision. Therefore, it's most likely a simple noun, and the apostrophe is either a scribal error or a less common numerical usage.
