ΤΟΥΣΚΑΤΑ, τουσκατα
TOUSKATA, touskata
Sounds Like: TOOS-KAH-tah
Translations: the, down, against, according to, throughout, by
From the root: Ο, ΚΑΤΑ
Part of Speech: Article, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of the definite article 'ΤΟΥΣ' (tous), meaning 'the' (masculine plural accusative), and the preposition 'ΚΑΤΑ' (kata), meaning 'down, against, according to'. In the provided examples, it seems to be used as 'the ones down/against/according to'. It is not a single, recognized word in Koine Greek, but rather two separate words written together without a space, which is a common scribal practice or a result of textual transmission. Therefore, it should be understood as 'the' followed by 'kata'.
Inflection: ΤΟΥΣ: Masculine, Plural, Accusative; ΚΑΤΑ: Does not inflect (preposition)
