Label your stuff with NT Greek

Here are ten Koine Greek words for objects in your house or apartment, such as "pen" and "key." All are from the New Testament. Do you remember where do these items appear?
I've just written labels of these things and stuck them on the objects in my room. I think it is a fun way to familiarize oneself with NT Greek words.

e.g.
1lightning (electricity)ἀστραπηf
2towelλεντιονn



No. English Greek Gender etc.
1 lightning (electricity) ἀστραπη f
2 towel λεντιον n
3 pen καλαμος m
4 black μελας, μελαινα, μελαν 1 and 3 declensions
5 paper χαρτης m
6 key κλεις, κλειδος f
7 lamp λυχνος m
