Sounds Like: EES
Translations: into, to, for, unto, in, on, among, toward, with, at, a, one, first
From the root: ΕΙΣ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Numeral
Explanation: This word, ending with an apostrophe-like mark, most commonly represents an elision of the preposition ΕΙΣ (eis), meaning 'into' or 'to'. It indicates motion towards or entry into something, or a purpose/result. For example, it can mean 'into the house' or 'for a purpose'. Less commonly, the mark could be a keraia, indicating the numeral 15 (ΙΕ'). However, in Koine Greek, the keraia for numbers is usually a prime symbol (ʹ) rather than an apostrophe (ʼ), and it's typically placed after the last letter of the numeral. Given the form, elision of the preposition ΕΙΣ is the primary interpretation. The word ΕΙΣ itself can also function as a numeral meaning 'one' or 'first', or as an indefinite article 'a' or 'an'.
