τῆς
ho
his
The definite article in Greek, marking nouns as particular or previously specified entities. In grammatical usage, ὁ (masculine), ἡ (feminine), and τό (neuter) serve as the primary means of noun specification, functioning similarly to 'the' in English but with broader flexibility. The article may also bear pronominal, demonstrative, or substantivizing functions, depending on context. Semantic range includes marking definiteness, distinguishing subject or object noun phrases, acting as a substantive (turning adjectives or participles into nouns), and standing in for demonstrative or personal pronouns when context clarifies referent.
