Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two separate words, ΠΡΩΤΗ (prōtē) and ΑΥ̓ΤΩ (autō), written together without a space. ΠΡΩΤΗ is the feminine form of 'first' and ΑΥ̓ΤΩ is the dative singular of 'he/she/it' or 'himself/herself/itself'. Therefore, the phrase means 'first to him/it' or 'first for him/it', often implying priority or initial action directed towards someone or something. It describes something that is done or given as the initial action or item to a specific person or thing.
Inflection: ΠΡΩΤΗ: Singular, Nominative or Vocative, Feminine. ΑΥ̓ΤΩ: Singular, Dative, Masculine or Neuter.
