ἰχθύων
ichthýs
of fish
A fish; primarily refers to an aquatic, gill-breathing vertebrate. The term encompasses both generic and specific references to fish, as an animal, a source of food, or as the object of activity (fishing, catching, preparing, consuming). In extended or figurative contexts (e.g., symbolic speech or early Christian literature outside the New Testament), it may take metaphorical significance, but in Koine sources it typically denotes an actual fish.
