From the root: ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Preposition
Explanation: This word is an elided form of the preposition ΕΠΙ (epi). It is a versatile preposition that can express a wide range of relationships, including location (on, upon, over), direction (to, toward), time (at, during), cause (for, because of), and opposition (against). Its precise meaning often depends on the case of the noun it governs (genitive, dative, or accusative). For example, with the genitive, it can mean 'on' or 'over'; with the dative, 'at' or 'upon'; and with the accusative, 'to' or 'against'.
Inflection: Does not inflect (preposition), but governs nouns in the Genitive, Dative, or Accusative cases.
