dynamikou

Dynamikou is the transliteration of the Greek genitive singular form δυναμικού, which is the genitive of the adjective δυναμικός meaning dynamic or power-related. In Greek grammar, adjectives agree with the noun they modify, so the form dynamikou appears in contexts expressing possession or relation, roughly corresponding to “of the dynamic” in English. It is not a standalone lexical item in Greek; rather, it is a grammatical inflection used within larger phrases.

Etymology and related forms: The base δυναμ- comes from Greek for power or force. The suffix -ικός (-ikos) marks the adjective form meaning “pertaining to” or “characteristic of.” The genitive singular ending for masculine nouns in this class is -ου, which, when transliterated, becomes dynamikou. Related forms include δυναμικό (dynamiko) for the neuter nominative/accusative and dynamiká (δυναμικά) as the neuter plural or as the adverbial/emphatic form in some contexts.

Usage in literature and transliteration: Because dynamikou is a grammatical ending, it does not function as an independent term in Greek dictionaries. In English-language scholarship and bibliographies, dynamikou may appear as part of transliterated Greek phrases such as “tou dynamikou” to convey the original genitive construction meaning “of the dynamic.” Its appearance is typically confined to phrases rather than as a stand-alone concept.
