Grammatical Analysis

"νευσι"

Notes: ['The exact unaccented form "νευσι" is ambiguous in isolation.', 'With an accent it could represent different lemmas and parts of speech (e.g., a noun/adjective dative plural in -σι(ν), or a verb form if the lemma ends in -νευω/-νευμι etc., though the bare string is not sufficient to decide reliably).', 'Ancient Greek morphology is accent-sensitive; without accent/breathing/context, a unique parse cannot be guaranteed.']

Possible analyses: [{'part_of_speech': 'noun (or adjective used substantively)', 'morphology': {'case': 'dative', 'number': 'plural', 'gender': 'depends on lemma (not recoverable from the bare form)', 'declension': 'likely 3rd declension if the ending is -σι(ν) from a consonant-stem noun'}}]
