Translations: on, upon, over, to, against, at, by, for, in, among, concerning

From the root: ΕΠΙ

Part of Speech: Preposition

Explanation: ἘΦ' is an elided form of the Koine Greek preposition ἘΠΊ (epi). It means 'on', 'upon', 'over', 'to', 'against', 'at', 'by', 'for', 'in', 'among', or 'concerning'. Its precise meaning depends on the case of the noun it governs: with the genitive case, it often indicates 'upon' or 'in the time of'; with the dative case, it can mean 'on', 'at', or 'for'; and with the accusative case, it frequently means 'upon', 'to', or 'against'. This elision occurs when ἘΠΊ is followed by a word beginning with a vowel with a rough breathing mark (spiritus asper).

Inflection: Elided form of the preposition ἘΠΊ. Does not inflect itself, but governs nouns in the Genitive, Dative, or Accusative cases.
