[B-Greek] Biblical Greek question

I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me?

In Mark 11:4 we read the phrase  *"a place where two ways met"* - 
Strongs concordance suggests this word to be /"amphodon" /and informs me 
that it is from the base /"amphoteros" /and /"hodos" /and is used 
nowhere else in the NT.

Now in Ephesians 2:14 we read the word *"both"* - Strongs concordance 
says the word to be /"amphoteros".

/The question I have is this - would there be a connection in the mind 
of a Greek reader when comparing the phrase in Mark 11:4 and Ephesians 
2:14. Could there be a sense in which the *"both" *of Ephesians, whilst 
referring to maybe Jew & Gentile, Mark could be making a similar 
allusion in the scene being presented? (The scene is full of "pairs".)

Hope all this makes sense!
