ΟΤΕΣ, οτες
OTES, otes
Sounds Like: OH-tee
Translations: that, because, for, since, how, why
From the root: ΟΤΙ
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a variant of the common Koine Greek conjunction 'ΟΤΙ (hoti)'. It introduces a subordinate clause, often indicating the content of a statement ('that'), the reason for something ('because', 'for', 'since'), or sometimes how something is done ('how'). It can also introduce indirect questions. The ending '-ΕΣ' is not typical for this conjunction, suggesting a scribal error or a very rare, non-standard form.
Inflection: Does not inflect (if 'ΟΤΙ'); if 'ΟΤΕΣ' is treated as a noun or participle, it would be Nominative or Accusative, Plural, Masculine or Feminine.
