ΓΑΡἨΝ, γαρἠν
GARĒN, garēn
Sounds Like: gar-AYN
Translations: for, indeed, because, then, therefore
From the root: ΓΑΡ
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Explanation: This word is a postpositive conjunction, meaning it typically appears after the first word in a clause. It introduces a reason, explanation, or confirmation for a preceding statement. It can be translated as 'for,' 'because,' 'indeed,' or 'then.' The form ΓΑΡἨΝ is a crasis (contraction) of the conjunction γάρ (gar) and the imperfect verb ἦν (ēn), meaning 'was' or 'there was.' Thus, it effectively means 'for there was' or 'for it was.'
Inflection: Crasis of γάρ (conjunction) and ἦν (imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular of εἰμί, 'to be')
