ΕΑΥΤΟΙΣΥΠΟΝΟΙΑΝ, εαυτοισυπονοιαν
EAUTOISYPONOIAN, eautoisyponoian
Sounds Like: eh-ah-TOYS-hoo-po-NOY-an
Translations: suspicion of themselves, a suspicion of themselves
From the root: ΕΑΥΤΟΥ, ΥΠΟΝΟΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from 'ἑαυτοῖς' (heautois), meaning 'to/for themselves', and 'ὑπόνοιαν' (hyponoian), meaning 'suspicion' or 'conjecture'. The combined word means 'suspicion of themselves' or 'a suspicion concerning themselves'. It describes a state where individuals harbor suspicion or conjecture about their own actions, motives, or circumstances. This word is likely a misspelling or a very rare, perhaps unique, compound in Koine Greek, as the standard way to express 'suspicion of themselves' would be 'ὑπόνοια ἑαυτῶν' (hyponoia heauton) using the genitive case for 'themselves'. The provided form 'ΕΑΥΤΟΙΣΥΠΟΝΟΙΑΝ' appears to incorrectly combine the dative plural of 'themselves' with the accusative singular of 'suspicion' into a single word, which is not typical Koine Greek morphology for this meaning.
Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Feminine (for the 'suspicion' part); Dative, Plural (for the 'themselves' part, though incorrectly compounded)
Strong’s numbers: G1438 (Lookup on BibleHub), G5283 (Lookup on BibleHub)
