Explanation: This word has multiple possible meanings due to the apostrophe-like symbol (keraia or coronis). If the symbol is a keraia, it indicates the Greek letter Eta (Η) is being used as a numeral, representing the number 8. In this context, it can mean 'eight' or 'eighth'. If the symbol is a coronis, it indicates an elision or crasis of another word. Most commonly, it represents the feminine nominative singular definite article 'Ἡ' (the), or the conjunction 'Ἢ' (or). It can also be an elision of 'Εἰ' (if). The context of the sentence is crucial for determining the correct meaning.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a numeral); Feminine, Nominative, Singular (as an article); Does not inflect (as a conjunction)
