From the root: ΓΗ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Conjunction
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a misspelling, most likely a typographical error where two common Koine Greek words, ΓΗΝ (GĒN) and ΚΑΙ (KAI), have been run together without a space. ΓΗΝ is the accusative singular form of the noun ΓΗ (GĒ), meaning 'earth,' 'land,' or 'ground.' ΚΑΙ is a very common conjunction meaning 'and,' 'also,' or 'even.' Therefore, the intended meaning is likely 'earth and' or 'land and.'
Inflection: ΓΗΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine; ΚΑΙ: Does not inflect
