ΕΥ̓ΝΟΥΣΤΕΡΟΥΣΤΑΙΣ, εὐνουστερουσταις
EUNOUSTEROUSTAIS, eunousteroustais
Sounds Like: eh-NOOS-teh-ROOS-tays
Translations: more well-disposed, more benevolent, more loyal
From the root: ΕΥ̓ΝΟΥΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the adjective meaning 'well-disposed' or 'benevolent'. The '-τερος' suffix indicates a comparative degree, meaning 'more well-disposed' or 'more benevolent'. The ending '-ουσταις' is highly irregular and suggests a possible misspelling or a very rare/late Koine form. If it were a standard dative plural, it would likely be 'ΕΥ̓ΝΟΥΣΤΕΡΟΙΣ' (masculine/neuter) or 'ΕΥ̓ΝΟΥΣΤΕΡΑΙΣ' (feminine). Given the context of the provided example, it likely refers to 'those who are more well-disposed' or 'more loyal' to someone, used in a dative sense (to/for them).
Inflection: Comparative, Dative, Plural, Masculine or Feminine (likely a misspelling of -οις or -αις)
