GENUINE GREEK

Here's a word that is post classical yet genuine and grammatical greek from Romans 12:9

ANUPOKRITOS 

Its variously been translated as genuine unfeigned undisguised or by a phrase like with all sincerity or without dissimulation. IN form it is a verbal adjective - tos plus kri derived from the verb hypokrinomai and its radical kri  The n inserted before u is a little odd since the initial a is probably the privative prefix  meaning un or not but it is a sensible useful and grammatical word.

"not played" "not being fake" "may it not be played or a pretence" "Not capable of being faking"

Also that whole passage from 9 to 21 is full of an interesting diversity of adjectives and other forms and a good inspiring guide to ethics !
