MĒCHANASĒRON, mēchanasēron

Sounds Like: mee-kha-NAH-seh-ron

Translations: machines, devices, contrivances

From the root: ΜΗΧΑΝΗ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a highly unusual inflection of the word for 'machine' or 'device'. The base word 'μηχανή' refers to any contrivance, machine, or instrument, often implying ingenuity or skill in its construction. It can also refer to a plan or stratagem. The ending '-ασήρον' is not a standard Koine Greek inflection. The presence of the coronis (̓) after the sigma suggests a possible elision or crasis, but the full form is not readily identifiable as a standard compound. Given the context, it most likely refers to multiple machines or devices.

Inflection: Plural, Accusative, Feminine (likely, based on the root 'μηχανή')

Strong’s number: G3182 (Lookup on BibleHub)

Unknown: Yes
