"ἀμφὶ"
Form: ἀμφὶ
Preposition governs: [{'case': 'genitive', 'typical_function': 'around/about (of surrounding or in reference to)'}, {'case': 'dative', 'typical_function': 'around/at/near (position or circumstance)'}, {'case': 'accusative', 'typical_function': 'around/about; to and fro (often with motion or extension)'}]
Notes: Not a verb; therefore tense/voice/mood/person/number do not apply. Accentuation as given (acute on ι) reflects the enclitic/phonological behavior of the prepositional form in context.
