Exegesis
The noun zētḗmata {ζητήματά | zē-té-ma-ta} ‘disputes’ functions as the subject of é-stin {ἐστιν | é-stin} ‘it is’, linking to the coordinated genitive string perì lógou kai onomátōn kai nómou {περὶ λόγου καὶ ὀνομάτων καὶ νόμου | perì lógou kai onomátōn kai nómou}, which lists topics of contention.
In context — Acts 18:15
But if it is about disputes concerning words and names and your own law, handle it yourselves; I do not want to be a judge of these matters.
