Oh my, now what was the original quote *tries to decipher - oh, how good I wrote the Greek script there...*¨

Aaah yeees, I know now!

hémeis/hémon - a form of "we" or "us" (the second being "our")
hodou - road or way
chóra - land

And again, I will suggest you try to look for words which, or whose parts would seem familiar to you. Right now I see at least two, one of which is quite obvious, another has a root inside it which can be thought of... possibly.
