Translations: who, which, that, because, that, as much as, as many as
From the root: ΟΣ
Part of Speech: Relative Pronoun, Conjunction
Explanation: This word is an elided form, indicated by the coronis (apostrophe) at the end. It most commonly represents the relative pronoun ὅς (hos), meaning 'who,' 'which,' or 'that,' where the final vowel has been dropped before a word beginning with a vowel. It could also potentially represent ὅτι (hoti), meaning 'that' or 'because,' or ὅσος (hosos), meaning 'as much as' or 'as many as,' similarly elided. In rare cases, it could also represent the numeral 70 (οʹ). However, given the context of the example, it is highly probable that it is an elided form of a relative pronoun or conjunction.
Inflection: Singular, Nominative, Masculine or Feminine (for ὅς); or indeclinable (for ὅτι, ὅσος)
