Usage notes

This word translates Koine Greek θηρίον (thΔ“rΓ­on), but seems to only be used when describing actual animals in a neutral sense. In an instance where human beings are described pejoratively as "beasts", the word πŒΏπŒ½πŒ±πŒΉπŒ°π‚πŒΉ (unbiari) is used.

The phrase 𐌳𐌿 𐌳𐌹𐌿𐌢𐌰𐌼 π…πŒ°πŒΉπŒ· (du diuzam waih) translates ἐθηριομάχησα (ethΔ“riomΓ‘khΔ“sa, β€œI fought with wild beasts”).

Reconstruction notes

Only the dative plural is attested, which is not enough to determine whether this word is an a-stem or an an-stem, or whether it is masculine or neuter. Streitberg, though, reconstructs a neuter a-stem.

Declension

No singular forms are attested, but they probably existed. See also the reconstruction notes.
