From the root: ΣΑΜΧ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: It's not clear what this word means. It appears to be a sequence of Greek letters (Sigma, Alpha, Mu, Chi) that does not form a recognized word in Koine Greek. Given its placement at the beginning of sentences in the provided examples, it is highly probable that it represents a transliteration or abbreviation of a word from another language, most likely Hebrew. In the context of the Septuagint (the Greek Old Testament), such sequences often indicate the beginning of a new section or chapter, particularly when transliterating Hebrew chapter or verse markers, or possibly a scribal error or a non-Greek element. It is not a standard Greek word and its meaning cannot be determined from Greek alone.
Inflection: Does not inflect
Unknown: Yes
