ANTH', anth'

Sounds Like: AN-th'

Translations: instead of, for, in place of, in return for, because, for which things, in return for which

From the root: ἈΝΤΙ

Part of Speech: Preposition

Explanation: This word is an elided form of the preposition ἈΝΤΙ (ANTI). The final vowel of ἈΝΤΙ is dropped, and the 'τ' changes to 'θ' before a word beginning with a rough breathing (indicated by the apostrophe-like mark, which is a coronis indicating elision). It means 'instead of', 'for', or 'in place of'. When used with a genitive relative pronoun like 'ὧν' (hon), it often translates to 'because' or 'in return for which things'. It always governs the genitive case. The apostrophe-like mark at the end is a coronis, indicating an elision. It is less likely to be a keraia (a numerical marker).

Inflection: Does not inflect (governs the Genitive case)
