From the root: ΜΕΤΑ
Part of Speech: Preposition
Explanation: This word is an elided form of the Koine Greek preposition ΜΕΤΆ (meta), indicated by the coronis (ʼ) at the end. The elision occurs when ΜΕΤΆ precedes a word beginning with a vowel, where the final alpha (α) is dropped. As a preposition, ΜΕΤΆ can take different cases, changing its meaning. When used with the genitive case, it typically means 'with' or 'among'. When used with the accusative case, it typically means 'after' or 'behind'. It indicates association, accompaniment, or sequence in time or order.
Inflection: Does not inflect (preposition), but governs the Genitive or Accusative case depending on meaning.
