ἨΝΠΟΛΛΩΝ, ἠνπολλων
ĒNPOLLŌN, ēnpollōn
Sounds Like: EEN-pol-LOHN
Translations: was, were, many, much, numerous, great
From the root: ΕΙΜΙ, ΠΟΛΥΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Adjective
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled combination of two common Koine Greek words: ἨΝ (ēn), which is the imperfect active indicative third person singular of the verb ΕἸΜΙ (eimi), meaning 'to be' (so, 'was'); and ΠΟΛΛΩΝ (pollōn), which is the genitive plural of the adjective ΠΟΛΥΣ (polys), meaning 'many' or 'much'. It is highly unlikely that these two words would be combined into a single word in standard Koine Greek. The context suggests a description of something being 'many' or 'much', so 'pollōn' is likely intended, possibly with 'ēn' preceding it as separate words.
Inflection: ἨΝ: Third person singular, Imperfect, Active, Indicative; ΠΟΛΛΩΝ: Genitive, Plural, All genders
