ό,τι

See also: ότι, ὅτι, and Appendix:Variations of "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From a reconsideration of ὅ τι (hó ti) as a single word, while retaining the hypodiastole—an otherwise outdated form of the Greek comma used as a disambiguating interpunct symbol—in order to differentiate this term from ότι (óti).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈo.ti/
• Hyphenation: ό‧τι
• Homophone: ότι (óti)
