πρύμνῃ

prýmna

stern

The stern, rear, or hinder part of a ship. In Greek nautical terminology, πρύμνα specifically designates the back section or aft-most part of a sea vessel, typically from where steering was executed or where certain controls were located. By extension, the term can describe any object or location at the back end or rear extremity, though in the New Testament and Septuagint, its use is almost entirely restricted to ships.
