Accordance says it is singular accusative. BDAG tells me its from ποδήρης
Im not terribly good at understanding these entries:Rev. 1:13 καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν λυχνιῶν ὅμοιον υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου ἐνδεδυμένον ποδήρη καὶ περιεζωσμένον πρὸς τοῖς μαστοῖς ζώνην χρυσᾶν.
How does this decline? I don't quite understand how it becomes ποδήρη. (Normally I just search for all occurrences of a word to see how it declines, but I can't in this case because this is the only occurrence of this word).ποδήρης, ες (πούς + -ήρης ‘fit’) reaching to the feet (Aeschyl. et al.; LXX; EpArist 96; Philo, Fuga 185) subst. ὁ ποδ. (sc. χιτών; used w. χιτών X., Cyr. 6, 4, 2; Paus. 5, 19, 6; Ex 29:5; Jos., Ant. 3, 153. Without χιτ. Appian, Liby. 66 §296; Ex 25:7; 28:4; Ezk 9:3; EpArist 96; Philo, Leg. All. 2, 56; Jos., Bell. 5, 231; TestLevi 8:2) a robe reaching to the feet Rv 1:13; B 7:9.—DELG s.v. πούς and -ηρης. M-M.
