ό,τι
See also: τι, ότι, ὅτι, ôti, oți, and 'oti
Greek
Alternative forms
- (obsolete/hypercorrect) ό⸒τι (ó⸒ti) (i.e. with the hypodiastole Unicode character, rather than a comma)
- (dated) ο τι (o ti)
- (misspelling) ότι (óti)
Etymology
From a reconsideration of ὅ τι (hó ti) as a single word, while retaining the hypodiastole—an otherwise outdated form of the Greek comma used as a disambiguating interpunct symbol—in order to differentiate this term from ότι (óti).
