Sounds Like: ES-ree-ayl
Translations: Ezra, Esdras
From the root: ΕΣΡΙΗΛ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word refers to the Old Testament prophet and scribe Ezra. It is a proper noun, typically used to identify the individual. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this is a numeral, specifically the number 2000 + 60 + 100 + 10 + 8 + 30 + 1 = 2209. However, given the context of ancient texts, it is far more likely to be a proper noun, 'Ezra', with the keraia indicating a numerical value for a chapter or verse, or simply a scribal mark. The word itself is the name of the person.
