I am looking at the ending and it is not the same word that appears in Thayers "list" that often comes on the internet for free, but is not a lexicon but just a dictionary

You will know for sure if it is feminine by the article that precedes it. Check out a verse with the word bishop in it, then the Greek and see what the article is. Feminine articles are only used for feminine nouns.
