Bible Note: Greetings Gdh1127! Sorry about the delay. I am a bi-vocational pastor who works nights. :-) Here is the info about 'ekeinos' which you requested. 'Ekeinos' is a demonstrative pronoun. It can be masculine, feminine, or neuter in gender. It can be singular or plural in number. But, there is no third person demonstrative pronoun. And, it can be in one of eight cases (5 forms). Here are the spellings for each. Masculine Singular forms: Nominative: ekeinos Genitive/Ablative: ekeinou Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeinw Accusative: ekeinon Masculine Plural forms: Nominative: ekeinoi Genitive/Ablative: ekeinwn Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeinois Accusative: ekeinous Feminine Singular Forms: Nominative: ekeine Genitive/Ablative: ekeines Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeine Accusative: ekeinen Feminine Plural Forms: Nominative: ekeinai Genitive/Ablative: ekeinwn Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeiais Accusative: ekeinas Neuter Singular Forms: Nominative: ekeino Genitive/Ablative: ekeinou Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeinw Accusative: ekeino Neuter Plural Forms: Nominative: ekeina Genitive/Ablative: ekeinwn Dative/Locative/Instrumental: ekeinois Accusative: ekeina I hope this helps. Transliterated spelling are hard to do and can change from book to book and person to person depending on which English letters are assigned which Greek letters. As you can see, some of the forms and spelling are identical to one another. Thus, the only way to determine the proper case, gender, or number in those situations is to look at the context.
