ΗΜΕΡΑΣʼ, ημεραςʼ

ĒMERASʼ, ēmerasʼ

Sounds Like: hay-MEH-ras

Translations: (of) day, (of) a day, (of) the day, (of) days

From the root: ΗΜΕΡΑ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word is the genitive singular form of the Koine Greek noun ΗΜΕΡΑ (hēmera), meaning 'day'. It is often translated as 'of day' or 'of a day', indicating possession, origin, or time. The final apostrophe (ʼ) is a coronis, indicating an elision, meaning a vowel has been omitted before another word. For example, it could represent ΗΜΕΡΑΣ followed by a word starting with a vowel, where the final sigma of ΗΜΕΡΑΣ has been dropped for phonetic reasons, or more commonly, it could be an elision of a preposition like ΔΙΑ (dia) or ΚΑΤΑ (kata) with ΗΜΕΡΑΣ, though this is less common for nouns themselves. It is most likely just the genitive singular form of 'day' used in a context where a following word caused an elision.
