Sounds Like: KAH-een
Translations: Cain
From the root: ΚΑΙΝ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word is a proper noun, referring to Cain, the eldest son of Adam and Eve in the biblical narrative. The apostrophe at the end, known as a keraia, indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, specifically the number 20. However, in the provided context, it is clearly used as the proper name 'Cain', and the keraia likely serves as an elision marker or simply a scribal abbreviation for the nominative case, or it could be a misinterpretation of a final sigma.
