[so, yes, I'm not convinced of "brightfame52 's" viewpoint]
Also, see this (regarding the other word, "polys / pollon"--also PLURAL in this verse) -
"πολύς polýs, pol-oos'; including the forms from the alternate πολλός pollós; (singular) much (in any respect) or (plural) many; neuter (singular) as adverbial, largely; neuter (plural) as adverb or noun often, mostly, largely:—abundant, + altogether, common, + far (passed, spent), (+ be of a) great (age, deal, -ly, while), long, many, much, oft(-en (-times)), plenteous, sore, straitly. Compare G4118, G4119.
