Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word, ΣΑΜΑΙΗΛʼ, is a transliteration of the Hebrew name Samael. The final apostrophe (ʼ) likely represents a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a numeral. In this context, it would represent the number 251. However, it is far more commonly known as the name of an archangel or a fallen angel/demon in Jewish and Christian mystical traditions. It is often associated with the figure of the accuser or the angel of death. When used as a proper noun, it refers to this specific entity.
Inflection: Does not inflect (when used as a proper noun). When used as a numeral, it functions as an indeclinable number.
