Thayer). - [[G2596]] (katá) is written 'kat' or 'kath' before a vowel. So too, kata loses the final a before an initial diphthong (cf. BDF § 17; MH 61-62; R 206-208). - [[G2596]] /katá ("bring down exactly, complete") is "opposite" to [[G0303]] /aná ("bring up to completion"). --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Outline - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Strong's Definition - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Vines - --- ## Transliteration Details - --- ## Date - Initial - 2019.10.22 - Revised - 2023.02.20 - 2023.09.24 ---
