ἘΡΗΜΙΑΝΟΥ̓Κ, ἐρημιανοὐκ
ERĒMIANOUK, erēmianouk
Sounds Like: eh-ray-MEE-ahn-OOK
Translations: desolation, a desolation, not
From the root: ΕΡΗΜΙΑ, ΟΥΚ
Part of Speech: Noun, Adverb
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the accusative singular of the noun 'ἘΡΗΜΙΑ' (erēmia), meaning 'desert, wilderness, desolation', and the negative particle 'ΟΥ̓Κ' (ouk), meaning 'not'. The combination 'ἘΡΗΜΙΑΝΟΥ̓Κ' is highly unusual and suggests a potential scribal error or a very rare, perhaps emphatic, construction. It literally means 'desolation not' or 'not desolation'. It is most likely a miswriting of 'ἘΡΗΜΙΑΝ ΟΥ̓Κ' (erēmian ouk), where the two words should be separated. If it were a single word, it would imply a state of 'non-desolation' or 'lack of desolation', but this is not a standard Koine Greek compound.
Inflection: ἘΡΗΜΙΑΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine; ΟΥ̓Κ: Does not inflect
