Grammatical Analysis

"Politis"

Case: nominative

Number: singular

Gender: masculine (or feminine, depending on lexical gender)

Declension: 3rd declension (consonant-stem in -ιτ-; nom. sg. -ις)

Note: As written in Latin characters ('Politis'), this most naturally corresponds to Greek πολίτης ('citizen'), whose nominative singular ends in -ης, not -ις. If the intended Greek form is πολῖτις (nom. sg.), it would be a 3rd-declension noun in -ις (e.g., a feminine formation). Exact Greek spelling/accents are needed to disambiguate.
