ΙΩΑΘΑΜʼ, ιωαθαμʼ
IŌATHAMʼ, iōathamʼ
Sounds Like: ee-oh-THAM
Translations: of Jotham
From the root: ΙΩΑΘΑΜ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is the genitive form of the proper noun Jotham, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'the Lord is perfect' or 'Yahweh is perfect'. It refers to a king of Judah, son of Uzziah, and is used to indicate possession or relationship, such as 'son of Jotham'. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this is a number (10+800+1+40+1+300+1 = 1142), but in this context, it is clearly a proper noun and the apostrophe is likely a scribal mark or a misinterpretation of a coronis, or simply a mark indicating abbreviation or a numerical value in a different context. Given the context of the provided example, it functions as a proper noun in the genitive case.
