KAINOTATONPRO, kainotatonpro
Sounds Like: kai-NO-ta-ton PRO
Translations: newest, most new, most unprecedented, before, in front of, for, in behalf of, instead of
From the root: ΚΑΙΝΟΣ, ΠΡΟ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenation of two distinct Koine Greek words: ΚΑΙΝΟΤΑΤΟΝ (kainotaton) and ΠΡΟ (pro). ΚΑΙΝΟΤΑΤΟΝ is the neuter singular superlative form of the adjective ΚΑΙΝΟΣ, meaning 'new' or 'unprecedented', thus translating to 'newest' or 'most unprecedented'. ΠΡΟ is a common preposition meaning 'before', 'in front of', 'for', or 'instead of'. When combined, it would literally mean 'newest before' or 'most unprecedented for', but it is highly unlikely these two words would be written as a single unit in standard Koine Greek. It is probable that this is a transcription error, a garbled text, or a very unusual compound not typically found.
Inflection: ΚΑΙΝΟΤΑΤΟΝ: Singular, Neuter, Nominative or Accusative, Superlative; ΠΡΟ: Does not inflect
