DI', di'

Sounds Like: DEE

Translations: through, by means of, on account of, because of

From the root: ΔΙΑ

Part of Speech: Preposition

Explanation: This word is an elided form of the preposition ΔΙΑ (dia), meaning 'through', 'by means of', 'on account of', or 'because of'. It is used to indicate the means, cause, or instrument by which something is done. It can take the genitive case (meaning 'through' or 'by means of') or the accusative case (meaning 'on account of' or 'because of'). The apostrophe (coronis) indicates that the final vowel (alpha) has been dropped, typically before a word beginning with a vowel. It is also possible, though less common in this context, that the apostrophe is a keraia, indicating the number 14.

Inflection: Does not inflect, but governs the genitive and accusative cases.
