Meaning: dumb, speechless (as with amazement).

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ἐννέα" (ennea), meaning "nine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the ordinal number "ninth" is "תְּשִׁיעִי" (t'shi'i), Strong's Hebrew #8671.

Usage: The term "enneos" is used to denote the ordinal number "ninth." It is typically used in contexts where a sequence or order is being described, particularly in relation to time or position.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number nine was often associated with completeness and finality, as it is the last single-digit number. In the context of the Bible, numbers often carry symbolic weight, and the use of "enneos" would have been understood within this framework. The ninth hour, for example, was a significant time in Jewish daily life, corresponding to 3 PM, a time of prayer and sacrifice.
