AI Summary
κατά’s basic sense is downwards 3. Used with a noun in the genitive, it describes literal motion down or down from a higher point - something falling or moving down from somewhere 13. In one set phrase it describes poverty that goes all the way down, i.e. deep or extreme poverty 1.
With a genitive noun for a person, it commonly expresses hostility, against someone - used with verbs of speaking, accusing, desiring, fighting, or prevailing against another, and of swearing an oath by or against someone 123.
With the accusative it describes motion or extension through or throughout a place, and direction to or toward something 132. Used of time, it means during or "about" a given period 134. In idiomatic adverbial phrases built this way it can also mean "at," "in," or "by," as in "at home" or "by oneself" 1.
It also carries a distributive sense, dividing a whole into its parts: by region, city, or congregation; by the year or feast, or day by day; one by one; or according to a set number 123.
Very often it means according to, "in conformity with," "after the manner of," or "concerning" - describing something done by the standard of, in relation to, or in the manner of something else 1234.

E.V frequently only to strengthen the notion of the simple word, as in κατακόπτω, κατακτείνω, καταφαγεῖν, etc.; also with Substantives and adjectives, as in κατάδηλος, κάτοξος.
E.VI sometimes to give a transitive force to an intransitive Verb, our be-, as in καταθρηνέω bewail.

Mss. and the older Edd. join the preposition with the following word, as καγγόνυ, καδδέ, κακκεφαλῆς, καππεδίον, καπφάλαρα, καρρόον, καττάδε, καττόν, etc. In compound Verbs, κατά sometimes changes into καβ, καλ, καρ, κατ, before β, λ, ρ, θ, respectively, as κάββαλε, κάλλιπε, καρρέζουσα, κάτθαν; and before στ, σχ, the second syllable sometimes disappears, as in καστορνῦσα, κάσχεθε, as also in the Doric dialect forms καβαίνων, κάπετον.
