ΤΟʼ, τοʼ
TOʼ, toʼ
Sounds Like: TOH
Translations: the, a, this, that, these, those, 70
From the root: Ο, ΟΥΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Article, Pronoun, Numeral
Explanation: This word, 'ΤΟʼ', is highly ambiguous due to the lack of diacritics in the ancient manuscripts and the presence of the apostrophe, which can indicate either an elision (coronis) or a numerical value (keraia). Most commonly, it represents the neuter singular nominative or accusative form of the definite article 'the' (τό). In this usage, it functions like 'the' in English, preceding a noun to specify it, such as 'the vision'. It can also function as a demonstrative pronoun or adjective, meaning 'this' or 'that', often in phrases like 'because of this'. Less commonly, the apostrophe (keraia) can indicate the numeral 70 (οʹ). If it is an elision, it most likely represents the definite article τό followed by a word starting with a vowel, where the final vowel of τό has been dropped.
Inflection: Singular, Neuter, Nominative or Accusative (for the article/pronoun); Does not inflect (for the numeral)
