ἐνάρμοστος

# ἐνάρμοστος (enarmostos): A Greek Word Without Biblical Attestation The Greek term *enarmostos* carries the meaning "concordant" or harmoniously fitted together, derived from the prefix *en-* (in/within) combined with *harmostos* (fitted or joined). The word describes things that are in proper agreement or arrangement with one another, suggesting a state of coherence or fitting correspondence between elements. However, this word presents a notable curiosity in biblical studies: despite being a legitimate Greek term with a clear semantic meaning, *enarmostos* does not appear even once in the surviving biblical text. This absence is significant because it indicates that while the concept of concordance or fitting harmony was expressible in koine Greek vocabulary, the biblical authors and translators did not employ this particular word to convey such ideas. Instead, they relied on other Greek terms to express similar notions of agreement, harmony, or proper fitting—a choice that reflects the particular lexical preferences of biblical Greek.
