"ε"
Note: The exact form provided is the single character «ε» (epsilon) with no breathing mark or accent. By itself it is not a complete Ancient Greek word-form and is therefore morphologically ambiguous.
Possible analyses: [{'part_of_speech': 'letter', 'function': 'the vowel letter epsilon (used as a grapheme; not inflected)'}, {'part_of_speech': 'verbal_form (enclitic, clipped spelling)', 'candidate_lemma': 'εἰμί', 'verb_type': 'μι-verb', 'tense': 'present', 'voice': 'active', 'mood': 'indicative', 'person': '2nd', 'number': 'singular', 'note': 'Could represent an unaccented/clipped form for «εἶ» in some contexts, but the standard Attic form is «εἶ» (with iota and circumflex), not bare «ε».'}, {'part_of_speech': 'particle (elided)', 'candidate_forms': ['ἐ', 'εʼ'], 'function': 'could reflect elision/truncation in transcription, but bare «ε» without apostrophe/breathing is not a standard standalone particle form'}]
