Explanation: This character with an apostrophe (keraia or coronis) can represent two different things in Koine Greek. Most commonly, when followed by a space or other words, it represents the numeral 40. This is indicated by the keraia (a mark similar to an apostrophe) placed after the letter. However, it can also be an elision (coronis) of the pronoun 'με' (me, accusative singular of 'I'), or an elision of a verb ending like '-μαι' (first person singular middle/passive ending). The context determines which meaning is intended. For example, 'Μ' ἔτη' means '40 years', while 'συμβουλεύσαιμ' ἄν' means 'I might advise'.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a numeral); Accusative Singular (as a pronoun); First Person Singular Middle/Passive (as a verb ending)
