κοινῆς
koinós
common
Shared in common or belonging to a group collectively; used broadly to denote what is ordinary, not distinctive, or not set apart. In ritual and purity contexts, refers to what is profane, not sacred, or ritually impure/unclean; in other contexts, simply ordinary or general rather than special or exclusive. Basic sense is 'shared' or 'under common ownership/use,' but in Jewish and early Christian texts especially, can imply a lack of holiness or ritual impurity.
