From the root: ΚΑΤΑ

Part of Speech: Preposition

Explanation: This word is an elided form of the preposition ΚΑΤΑ, where the final alpha has been dropped before a word starting with a vowel with a rough breathing mark (indicated by the apostrophe, called a coronis). It is a versatile preposition whose meaning depends on the case of the noun it governs. When used with the genitive case, it often means 'against' or 'down from'. When used with the accusative case, it frequently means 'according to', 'throughout', or 'by'. It can also indicate distribution or a standard.

Inflection: Does not inflect, but governs the Genitive or Accusative case.

Strong’s number: G2596 (Lookup on BibleHub)
