Translations: up, upward, among, between, each, every, through, by, upon, in, on, for, of, a, an, 51
From the root: ΑΝΑ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Adverb, Numeral
Explanation: This word is likely a form of the preposition 'ΑΝΑ (ana), which means 'up' or 'upward'. It can also mean 'each' or 'every' when used distributively. When used with the accusative case, it can mean 'up', 'through', 'among', 'between', or 'by'. The apostrophe-like mark (coronis) indicates an elision, meaning the final vowel of 'ΑΝΑ has been dropped before a word starting with a vowel. Alternatively, the mark could be a keraia, indicating that 'ΑΝ' represents the Greek numeral 51 (Alpha = 1, Nu = 50). Given the context of ancient manuscripts, both interpretations are possible, though elision of 'ΑΝΑ is more common.
Inflection: Does not inflect (if numeral); Preposition (if 'ΑΝΑ elided)
