τρήματος
trymaliá
the eye
A small opening, hole, or aperture—specifically the eye of a needle (the tiny hole through which a thread passes). In the New Testament, the term refers explicitly to the small orifice at the end of a sewing needle. By extension, it may denote any extremely small opening or passageway, especially one emphasizing its minuteness.
