Part of Speech: Preposition, Adverb, Interjection
Explanation: This word is a versatile Koine Greek term that can function as a preposition, adverb, or interjection, depending on context. As a preposition, it typically means 'by' or 'near' and indicates proximity or agency. It can also be an adverb meaning 'alongside' or 'beside'. In some contexts, it functions as an interjection expressing emotion like 'oh' or 'alas'. Due to the lack of diacritics in the input, it could represent several different words, most commonly 'παρά' (para) meaning 'by, near, with' or 'πά' (pa), an interjection.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a preposition or interjection).
