From the root: ἘΠΙ
Part of Speech: Preposition
Explanation: This word is a preposition, a shortened form of ἘΠΊ (EPI) due to elision of the final iota (ι) before a word beginning with a vowel. The apostrophe (coronis) indicates this elision. Its meaning is highly versatile and depends entirely on the grammatical case of the noun or pronoun it governs. It can indicate location (on, upon, at), direction (to, toward), time (during, at), cause or basis (for, on the basis of), or opposition (against).
Inflection: Does not inflect; however, its meaning changes depending on whether it governs a genitive, dative, or accusative case.
