MENʼ, menʼ
Sounds Like: MEN
Translations: indeed, certainly, on the one hand, truly, however, but, yet
From the root: ΜΕΝ
Part of Speech: Particle
Explanation: This word is a particle used to emphasize or contrast. It often appears in conjunction with another particle, such as 'DE' (δέ), to create a 'on the one hand... on the other hand' construction, indicating a contrast or a transition in thought. It can also simply add emphasis to a statement, meaning 'indeed' or 'certainly'. The apostrophe-like mark (coronis) indicates an elision, meaning a vowel has been dropped. In this case, it represents the full form 'ΜΕΝ' (men), where the final vowel has been elided before a following word beginning with a vowel.
Inflection: Does not inflect
