From the root: ΑΡΧΗ
Part of Speech: Prefix, Noun
Explanation: This word functions primarily as a prefix meaning 'chief' or 'first', indicating a position of leadership, origin, or preeminence. It can also stand alone as a noun, referring to a beginning, a rule, or a ruler. It is often used in compound words to denote the head or leader of a group or concept.
Inflection: This form is typically used as a prefix. As a noun, it is an indeclinable form of the root noun ΑΡΧΗ, often found in compounds or as a dative singular form (though the dative singular would typically be ΑΡΧΗΙ or ΑΡΧῌ). Given the lack of diacritics, it could also be interpreted as the nominative/accusative/vocative plural of a neuter noun, though less common for this root.
