Greek/Hebrew Definitions



Strong's #2176: euonumos (pronounced yoo-o'-noo-mos)

from 2095 and 3686; properly, well-named (good-omened), i.e. the left (which was the lucky side among the pagan Greeks); neuter as adverbial, at the left hand:--(on the) left.




Thayer's Greek Lexicon:

̓́

euōnumos

1) of good name and of good omen

1a) in the latter sense used in taking auguries; but those omens were euphemistically called "euonumos" which in fact were regarded as unlucky, i.e. which came from the left, sinister omens, (for which a good name was desired)

2) left, on the left hand
