ἄν, a particle indicating that something can or could occur on certain conditions, or by the combination of certain fortuitous causes. In Lat. it has no equivalent; nor do the Eng. haply, perchance, Germ. wohl (wol), etwa, exactly and everywhere correspond to it. The use of this particle in the N. T., illustrated by copious exx. fr. Grk. writ. is shown by W. § 42; [cf. B. 216 (186) sqq. Its use in classic Grk. is fully exhibited (by Prof. Goodwin) in L. and S. s. v.].
