Translations: more glorious than those, more famous than those, more renowned than those
From the root: ΕΚΕΙΝΟΣ, ΕΥΚΛΕΗΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This is a compound phrase formed by the genitive plural of the demonstrative pronoun 'ἐκεῖνος' (ekeinos), meaning 'those', and the accusative singular feminine comparative form of the adjective 'εὐκλεής' (eukleēs), meaning 'glorious' or 'famous'. The genitive 'ἐκείνων' (ekeinon) functions here to express comparison, meaning 'than those'. Thus, the phrase means 'more glorious/famous than those'. It would be used to describe a feminine noun that is more glorious or famous than a group of other things or people.
