Translations: whom, which, that, who, 120
From the root: ΟΣ
Part of Speech: Relative Pronoun, Numeral
Explanation: This word, ΟΝ', can have two primary interpretations in Koine Greek. Most commonly, it represents an elision of the relative pronoun ὅν (hon), meaning 'whom,' 'which,' or 'that.' This form is typically the masculine singular accusative case, used to refer to a male person or thing that is the direct object of a verb. For example, 'the man whom you saw.' Less commonly, the apostrophe-like mark (keraia) can indicate a numeral, in which case ΟΝ' would represent the number 120 (Omicron = 70, Nu = 50). Given the provided examples, the elided relative pronoun meaning is much more likely.
Inflection: Masculine, Singular, Accusative (for the relative pronoun); Does not inflect (for the numeral)
