Grammatical Analysis

"κου"

Note: The exact form "κου" is ambiguous without context and is not a standard finite verb form by itself. It most commonly represents an enclitic particle/adverb in Greek orthography as a contracted spelling of "που" (attic/koine spelling variant) meaning "somewhere/where" or as a phonetic spelling in later/vernacular texts. In classical Attic, "κου" can also appear as an enclitic particle (interrogative/indefinite nuance) in certain traditions, but it is not reliably classifiable from the form alone.

Possible analyses: [{'part_of_speech': 'particle/adverb (enclitic)', 'function': 'locative/interrogative-indefinite nuance; often equivalent to "που" = \'where?, somewhere\''}]
