Part of Speech: Conjunction
Explanation: This word is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast or an exception to what has just been stated. It often translates to 'but' or 'rather' and can indicate a strong opposition or a shift in thought. The apostrophe (coronis) indicates an elision, meaning it's a contraction of 'ἀλλὰ' (alla) and another word, though in this case, it's likely just a scribal variant of 'ἀλλὰ' itself, which is a common conjunction.
