From the root: ΚΑΙ, ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Conjunction, Preposition
Explanation: This word is a crasis (a contraction of two words into one) of the conjunction 'καὶ' (kai, meaning 'and', 'also', or 'even') and the preposition 'ἐπί' (epi, meaning 'upon', 'on', 'over', 'to', 'against', 'at', 'in', or 'by'). It functions as both 'and' and 'upon/on/etc.' simultaneously, indicating that something is 'and also upon' or 'and even on' a particular place or object. The specific meaning of 'ἐπί' depends on the case of the noun it governs (genitive, dative, or accusative).
Inflection: Does not inflect (it is a crasis of an uninflected conjunction and a preposition)
