Koine form of Immanuel

[Huia Iesou]

Does anyone know if the Hebrew word Immanuel was taken into Koine Greek? If so, would it be a third declension, as in Immanuel, Immanuelos?

Any help would be appreciated.

Immanuel is Eμμανουηλ in Koine Greek. I think this is an invariable noun since I could not find any accusative form different from the nominative: *Eμμανουηλαν, *Eμμανουηλην, *Eμμανουηλον.

Huia Jesou!

Thanks! Would you mind telling me if the asterisked forms are possible forms or just roots?

PS: I would love to know what the word after shalom means and what vowels go with it. I'm still struggling with my Hebrew dictionary because it uses roots and I haven't learned any grammar yet, just been working on reading.

*Eμμανουηλαν, *Eμμανουηλην, *Eμμανουηλον.

There are non-existent would-be accusatives, if the word was to have normal Greek declension.

Shalom u-vrakha

Peace and blessing -- a typical Hebrew greeting.

Thank you again!

I suppose this is the origin of Manuel (Greek Manouel), name of the twelfth-century emperor Manuel Komnenos. This form, too, seems to be invariable: no differing accusative, genitive or dative cases.

I further checked and realised that consonant endings for Greek nouns are limited to S, R and N. Borrrowed words ending with other consonants cannot be inflected according to the declension paradigm.

[Huia Iesou]

That makes sense, and it was something I hadn't noticed before.

More comon in new Greeks Mανώλης.
