Translations: but, rather, however, nevertheless, on the contrary, yet
From the root: ΑΛΛΑ
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Explanation: This word is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast or an alternative to what has just been stated. It often serves to emphasize a strong opposition or to correct a previous statement, functioning similarly to 'but' or 'rather' in English. The apostrophe-like characters are likely a normalization of the Koine Greek coronis (an elision mark) or keraia (a numerical marker), but in this context, it represents the common conjunction 'ἀλλά'.
