ὅ
hós
which
A relative pronoun introducing clauses that refer back to a previously mentioned noun or idea ('who,' 'which,' 'that'); used to relate additional information, qualify, or give a description about the antecedent. The core function is to establish a relationship between the antecedent and the relative clause. Sometimes with demonstrative force in certain poetic or elevated registers. In rare constructions, may also be used in indirect questions, or as a connector where a relative sense is implied.

| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun; nominative case; neuter gender; singular number (Gr,RR,,,,NNS). |
| Rendering Rationale | As a nominative neuter singular relative pronoun, ὅ refers back to a neuter antecedent and functions as the subject of its clause; "which" preserves its relational force without adding contextual nuance. |
