From the root: Δ
Part of Speech: Numeral, Conjunction, Preposition
Explanation: The character Δ' can represent the numeral 'four' when the apostrophe (keraia) indicates its numerical value, as Delta is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. More commonly, however, the apostrophe (coronis) indicates an elision, meaning a vowel has been dropped from the end of a word before a word starting with a vowel. In Koine Greek, Δ' is most frequently an elision of the conjunction δέ (de), meaning 'but,' 'and,' 'now,' or 'moreover,' used to introduce a new clause or a contrast. It can also be an elision of the preposition διά (dia), meaning 'through,' 'by,' 'on account of,' or 'for the sake of,' which takes either the genitive or accusative case depending on its meaning.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a numeral or elided conjunction/preposition)
