[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!
