κἀκεῖνος

kakeînos

G2548 demonstrative pronoun

SILEX Entry

Root ἐκεῖν-, καί and that one, even that (person or thing), also that one

Definition

A compound demonstrative pronoun meaning 'and that one,' 'and he/she/it,' or 'even that person/thing,' used to introduce or connect reference to a person or thing previously mentioned or implied; often serves to connect subjects or objects in narrative or discourse, sometimes with a contrastive or additive sense.

Semantic Range

and that one, even that one, that one also, likewise that one, and he/she/it, also him/her/it, they also, those also

Root / Etymology

Compound of καί ('and, also, even') and ἐκεῖνος ('that one, that person/thing [over there or previously mentioned]'); κἀκεῖνος is formed by crasis, the blending of these two words into one.

Historical & Contextual Notes

κἀκεῖνος is primarily a Koine form, commonly found in New Testament and later Hellenistic texts to maintain narrative flow or to add an anaphoric (back-referring) emphasis. It appears most often in contexts where the speaker or narrator is linking or further specifying a referent, sometimes as equivalent to 'even that one' or 'that person also.' It does not fundamentally differ in meaning from ἐκεῖνος but adds emphasis or connections through the conjunction. Classical Greek writers rarely used this crasis; it is characteristic of later Greek. Standard English translations often render κἀκεῖνος as 'he also,' 'him too,' or simply conflate it with 'he' or 'that one,' potentially omitting the connective nuance.

Translation Consistency

primary "that" 16 occurrences

κἀκεῖνος is a demonstrative best rendered by the general demonstrative "that." It captures the typical sense (‘and that one,’ ‘that one also’) and is the most natural, flexible base form: plural/other forms can be rendered as needed ("those," "that one," "and that") while keeping a single consistent lemma across all occurrences.
