From the root: ΕΚ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Numeral
Explanation: This word, marked with a coronis (ʼ), primarily represents the preposition 'εκ' (ek), meaning 'out of' or 'from'. It indicates origin, source, or separation, often used with the genitive case. For example, 'out of the house' or 'from God'. It can also signify the agent or means by which something is done. Less commonly, the 'ʼ' could function as a keraia, indicating the numeral 5 (epsilon). Given the context of ancient manuscripts, the elided preposition 'εκ' is the more probable interpretation.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a preposition); Numeral (as a keraia)
