ἄχρι(ς)

Strong’s: G891

Associated OET lemmas: ἄχρι

Other spellings: ἄχρι; ἄχρι | ἄχρις; ἄχρις

Notes: ἕως, ἄχρι, and μέχρι frequently occur with a postposed marker of indefinite temporal reference: οὗ, occurring with all three markers, and ὅτου with ἕως.; It is probable that ἕως[c], ἄχρι[c], and μέχρι[b] differ slightly in meaning, but this cannot be readily determined from existing contexts.

Form 1

Part of speech: prep. (with gen.), conj.

Related lemmas: ἄκρον

Sense 1: until, to, at last, at length

Semantic entry: 67.119

Semantic domains: Time

Subdomains: Duration of Time with Reference to Some Point of Time: Until, Delay, Still, From

Definition: the continuous extent of time up to a point{N:001}

Notes: The phrase εἰ μὴ ὅταν is often translated as ‘until’ (for example, μηδενὶ ἅ εἶδον διηγήσωνταιεἰ μὴ ὅταν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ ‘not to tell anybody what they have seen until the Son of Man has risen from death’ RV MRK 9:9 · LV MRK 9:9 · Read together MRK 9:9), but this phrase may be analyzed as meaning ‘if it is not when,’ an expression which is semantically equivalent to ‘until.’
