The Greek for uncut is akoptos.
It seems that if Paul meant "uncut" he would have used it because the word was at his dispense at that time, rather than simply saying "long" , especially since the Corinthians had little to no knowledge regarding Jewish laws, customs and traditions that they *should* be following the inbred teaching of Jewish women not cutting their hair, as pointed out by some.
