ΧΡΟΙΑΝΜΕΝ, χροιανμεν
CHROIANMEN, chroianmen
Sounds Like: KHROY-an-MEN
Translations: color, skin, surface, a color, a skin, a surface, indeed, certainly, on the one hand
From the root: ΧΡΟΙΑ, ΜΕΝ
Part of Speech: Noun, Particle
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or a juxtaposition of two separate Koine Greek words: ΧΡΟΙΑΝ (chroian) and ΜΕΝ (men). ΧΡΟΙΑΝ is the accusative singular form of the noun ΧΡΟΙΑ (chroia), meaning 'color,' 'skin,' or 'surface.' ΜΕΝ is a particle often used to introduce a clause or phrase, indicating a contrast or emphasizing a point, often translated as 'indeed,' 'certainly,' or 'on the one hand,' and is frequently paired with ΔΕ (de) in a 'on the one hand... on the other hand' construction. Therefore, 'ΧΡΟΙΑΝΜΕΝ' is likely a typographical error or a misreading of 'ΧΡΟΙΑΝ ΜΕΝ' (chroian men), meaning 'color indeed' or 'surface on the one hand'.
Inflection: ΧΡΟΙΑΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine; ΜΕΝ: Does not inflect
