From the root: ΩΣ
Part of Speech: Adverb, Conjunction, Numeral
Explanation: This word is highly versatile in Koine Greek, functioning as an adverb, conjunction, or even a numeral. As an adverb or conjunction, it primarily means 'as' or 'like', indicating comparison, manner, or degree. It can also mean 'when' or 'while' in a temporal sense, or 'how' in an interrogative or exclamatory sense. When followed by a number, it can mean 'about' or 'approximately'. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that it can also represent the numeral 800. Additionally, the apostrophe could signify an elision of the word ΩΣ before a vowel, meaning the word 'as' or 'like' is being used in a compound or contracted form.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as adverb/conjunction). As a numeral, it represents a fixed value.
