ὈΝΤΙΔΙ', ὀντιδι'
ONTIDI', ontidi'
Sounds Like: ON-tee-DEE
Translations: (to) being, (to) existing, (to) truly, (to) really, (to) indeed, (to) through, (to) by means of, (to) because of
From the root: ὨΝ
Part of Speech: Participle, Preposition
Explanation: This word is a compound form, likely an elision of the dative singular masculine/neuter participle ὈΝΤΙ (from the verb 'to be', meaning 'being' or 'existing') and the preposition ΔΙΆ (meaning 'through', 'by means of', or 'because of'). The apostrophe indicates that the final vowel of ΔΙΆ has been elided before a word starting with a vowel. Therefore, it most likely means 'through the one being' or 'by means of the one existing', or simply 'truly' or 'really' when used adverbially. It could also potentially be a misspelling or a very rare form, but the elision with ΔΙΆ is the most probable interpretation given the context of Koine Greek.
Inflection: Dative, Singular, Masculine or Neuter (for ὈΝΤΙ); Elided form (for ΔΙ')
