Translations: Jerusalem, 10, 200, 8, 40
From the root: ΙΣΗΜ
Part of Speech: Scribal Abbreviation, Numeral
Explanation: This word is a scribal abbreviation, likely for ἹΕΡΟΥΣΑΛΗΜ (Jerusalem). The overline indicates that it is a shortened form of a longer word. The apostrophe (keraia) at the end can also indicate that the letters represent a number. In this case, 'Ι' is 10, 'Σ' is 200, 'Η' is 8, and 'Μ' is 40. While it's possible it could be interpreted as a sequence of numbers, its primary function in ancient manuscripts with overlines is typically as an abbreviation for a common word, especially a proper noun like Jerusalem.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as an abbreviation or numeral)
