NOUN: noun
Definition
A noun can be defined in Ancient Greek as the PoS inflecting for case, number, and (typically one) gender. Some adjectives might be confused with nouns, they being very often used as substantivized adjectives (e.g., Ἀθηναῖος). In general, the LSJ should be used if doubt arises.
Examples
- λογεύς, έως, ὁ, “speaker”
- λῆμμα, ατος, τό, “anything received”
- ὕδωρ, ὕδατος, τό, “water”
