The coronis (apostrophe) indicates an elision, likely from a form like 'allogenēs' combined with a preposition or another word, though in this specific form, it appears to be an inflected form of the adjective itself, where the coronis might be a scribal mark or a misrepresentation of a breathing mark in a modern transcription.

Sounds like: al-lo-ge-NEH-sin

Translations: a foreigner, a stranger, a person of another race

Notes: This word refers to someone who is of a different race, nation, or family, essentially a foreigner or stranger. It is a compound word formed from 'allos' (other) and 'genos' (race, kind). The apostrophe in the provided word 'ΑΛʼΛΟΓΕΝΕΣΙΝ' likely indicates a coronis, suggesting an elision, but in this specific form, it's more probable that the apostrophe is a transcription error for the double lambda (λλ) or a misinterpretation of a breathing mark, as the word 'ἀλλογενής' (allogenēs) is the standard form. The ending '-εσιν' is characteristic of the dative plural of nouns ending in -ης, but the provided form 'ΑΛʼΛΟΓΕΝΕΣΙΝ' with the final -ν is most consistent with the accusative singular of the noun 'ἀλλογενής' (allogenēs), meaning 'a foreigner'.

Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Masculine or Feminine

Synonyms: ΞΕΝΟΣ, ΠΑΡΟΙΚΟΣ

Etymology: The word 'ἀλλογενής' (allogenēs) is a compound derived from 'ἄλλος' (allos), meaning 'other', and 'γένος' (genos), meaning 'race, kind, family'. It describes someone of a different origin or group.

Without further context or clarification, its meaning and usage are entirely unknown.
