ΠΟΛΙΝΠΤΩΜΑΤΩΝ, πολινπτωματων
POLINPTŌMATŌN, polinptōmatōn
Sounds Like: PO-lin-PTO-ma-ton
Translations: of city corpses, of city ruins, of city falls
From the root: ΠΟΛΙΣ, ΠΤΩΜΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound word, likely a misspelling or a unique formation, combining 'πόλιν' (city, accusative singular) and 'πτωμάτων' (of corpses/ruins, genitive plural). It would literally translate to something like 'city of corpses' or 'city of ruins'. It's not a standard Koine Greek word, suggesting it might be a specific, perhaps ad-hoc, construction or a scribal error. If it were a standard compound, the first element would typically be in its root form or a combining form, not an inflected case like the accusative.
Inflection: Compound word, combining an accusative singular noun and a genitive plural noun. The overall sense is genitive plural.
