Sounds Like: EH
Translations: if, whether, or, either, indeed, truly, certainly, ah!, oh!, alas!
From the root: ΕΗ
Part of Speech: Interjection, Conjunction, Adverb
Explanation: This word is highly ambiguous due to the lack of diacritics in ancient manuscripts. It most commonly represents the conjunction 'εἰ' (ei), meaning 'if' or 'whether', used to introduce conditional clauses or indirect questions. It can also represent the interjection 'ἦ' (e), expressing affirmation, surprise, or lament, often translated as 'indeed', 'truly', 'ah!', 'oh!', or 'alas!'. Furthermore, it could represent 'ἤ' (e), a disjunctive conjunction meaning 'or' or 'either...or'. The precise meaning depends entirely on the context and the intended diacritics.
