KATE, kate
Sounds Like: KAH-teh
Translations: down, against, according to, throughout, during
From the root: ΚΑΤΑ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Prefix
Explanation: This word is primarily a preposition meaning 'down' or 'against'. It is often used as a prefix in compound verbs, indicating a downward motion, completion, or intensity. In the provided examples, it is used as a prefix in 'ΚΑΤΕΒΗ' (katebē) and 'ΚΑΤΕΒΗΝ' (katebēn), both forms of the verb 'καταβαίνω' (katabainō), meaning 'to go down' or 'to descend'. The final alpha (α) of 'κατα' has been elided (removed) because the next word or part of the word starts with a vowel, which is a common grammatical feature in Koine Greek.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a prefix); as a preposition, it governs the genitive or accusative case.
