ĒRŌDĒSTOUS, ērōdēstous
Sounds Like: heh-ROH-dees-TOOS
Translations: Herod, the
From the root: ΗΡΩΔΗΣ, ΟΙ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Article
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a typographical error, combining the proper noun 'ΗΡΩΔΗΣ' (Herod) with the masculine plural accusative definite article 'ΤΟΥΣ' (the). In Koine Greek, these two words would typically appear separately, for example, 'ΗΡΩΔΗΣ τοὺς' (Herod the...). It is highly probable that this is a transcription error where the space between 'ΗΡΩΔΗΣ' and 'ΤΟΥΣ' was omitted, or it could be a unique scribal abbreviation or a very rare, non-standard compound. If it were a single word, its grammatical structure would be highly unusual for Koine Greek.
Inflection: Proper Noun (Nominative, Singular, Masculine) combined with Article (Accusative, Plural, Masculine)
