Preposition

IPA: /ka.tá/, /kaˈta/, /kaˈta/, /ka.tá/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kaˈta/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kaˈta/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kaˈta/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kaˈta/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: κᾰτᾰ́ [canonical], kătắ [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *kətá, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ḱm̥-teh₂, from *ḱóm (“beside, with”). Cognate with Hittite 𒅗𒀜𒋫 (katta, “down from, at, with, under”), Tocharian B kätk- (“to lower”) and perhaps Old Welsh cant, Modern Welsh gan (“with”). The genitive is from the PIE ablative of separation. The accusative is from the pre-PIE directional and the PIE direct object.
