From the root: ΠΕΡΙ
Part of Speech: Preposition, Adverb
Explanation: This word is a common Greek preposition and adverb. As a preposition, it typically means 'around' or 'about' when used with the genitive case, indicating a general area or subject. With the accusative case, it can mean 'around' in the sense of motion or 'concerning' a topic. As an adverb, it can mean 'around' or 'exceedingly'. In the provided examples, 'ΠΕΡΙΤΕ' is not a standalone word but rather the prefix 'ΠΕΡΙ-' combined with the reduplication 'τε-' which is characteristic of the perfect tense in Greek verbs. Therefore, 'ΠΕΡΙΤΕ' itself is not a word but a component of a perfect tense verb, indicating an action done 'around' or 'completely'.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a preposition/adverb). When used as a prefix in verbs, it contributes to the verb's inflection.
