What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 20.06.2025 11:42
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
Why did Sumire's summoning Nue act strangely in response to Kawaki's karma?
a couple of points:
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
The word you are looking for is:
Do you think Japan will have same-sex marriage by 2030?
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
The word has remained the same into Modern Greek
Why do people believe that global warming is man made?
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
