Part of Speech: Suffix
Explanation: This is not a standalone word in Koine Greek but rather a common suffix, -σια (-sia), used to form feminine nouns. These nouns typically denote an action, a state, or the result of an action. For example, 'εργασια' (ergasia) means 'work' or 'labor', derived from 'εργαζομαι' (ergazomai) 'to work'. 'Θυσια' (thysia) means 'sacrifice', derived from 'θυω' (thyo) 'to sacrifice'. 'Νοσσια' (nossia) means 'nest', related to 'νοσσευω' (nosseuo) 'to nest'. It is always attached to a root or stem to form a complete word.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as it is a suffix)
