ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕ'Ι, κατοικε'ι

KATOIKE'I, katoike'i

Sounds Like: kah-toy-KEH-ee

Translations: he dwells, she dwells, it dwells, he inhabits, she inhabits, it inhabits, he lives, she lives, it lives

From the root: ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕΩ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is the third person singular present active indicative form of the verb ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕΩ, meaning 'to dwell', 'to inhabit', or 'to live'. It describes an action of residing or settling in a place, performed by a single subject (he, she, or it) in the present tense. The apostrophe at the end is a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a numeral, specifically the number 20+1+300+70+10+20+5+10 = 436. However, in ancient Greek texts, it is far more common for this form to be an elision of ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕΕΙ, or simply the standard spelling ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕΙ, meaning 'he/she/it dwells'. Given the context of ancient manuscripts, the numerical interpretation is less likely unless explicitly indicated as such, and it is almost certainly the verb form.
