אִי

νῆσος nēsos · G3520 · island

Greek νῆσος specifically denotes an island as a land mass surrounded by water, while Hebrew אִי has broader semantic range encompassing coastlands and maritime territories in addition to islands proper; the cross-linguistic equivalence holds where LXX translators rendered Hebrew אִי in contexts emphasizing insular geography.
