ἈΝΚΑΙ, ἀνκαι
ANKAI, ankai
Sounds Like: an KAI
Translations: even if, if also, also, and
From the root: ΑΝ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Particle, Conjunction
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a misspelling of the Koine Greek phrase "ἂν καὶ" (an kai). "ἂν" is a particle that indicates possibility, condition, or potentiality, often used with subjunctive verbs to form conditional clauses or express wishes. "καὶ" means "and," "also," or "even." When combined, "ἂν καὶ" typically means "even if" or "if also," introducing a conditional clause that emphasizes the condition. It can also simply mean "also" or "and" in certain contexts, carrying a sense of emphasis or addition.
