Explanation: This word, 'ΤΕΛ', is a truncated form of several Koine Greek words due to the absence of diacritics and full inflectional endings. It most commonly represents forms of 'ΤΕΛΟΣ' (telos), meaning 'end, goal, completion, or tax', or 'ΤΕΛΕΩ' (teleo), meaning 'to finish, complete, or pay'. It could also be an adverbial form meaning 'finally' or 'at last'. The precise meaning depends heavily on the context in which it appears, as well as the implied diacritics and endings that would have been present in a fully written text.
Inflection: Could be a Nominative, Accusative, or Vocative singular form of a noun (e.g., ΤΕΛΟΣ), or a root form for various verb conjugations (e.g., ΤΕΛΕΩ), or an adverbial form. Gender and number are indeterminate without full context.
