What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?
Last Updated: 18.06.2025 00:41
a couple of points:
The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden
αλὴθεια / Alithea.
Have you ever been physically attacked by a demon?
A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.
The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well
If you could go back and rewrite the Legend of Korra, what would you change, and why?
the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
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
What's a joke you haven't used yet, but are dying to share?
The word you are looking for is:
There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.
