Exegesis
The noun ichthydia {ἰχθύδια | ikh-thý-di-a} ‘little fish’ with the adjective oliga {ὀλίγα | o-lí-ga} ‘few’ intensifies the meagerness through a diminutive form and quantitative descriptor.
In context — Mark 8:7
They also had a few small fish , and after He blessed them, He told them that these also should be set before them.
