ὅμως — hómōs

ὅμως (ὁμός), from Homer down, yet; it occurs twice in the N. T. out of its usual position (cf. Winers Grammar, § 61, 5f.; Buttmann, § 144, 23), viz. in 1Co 14:7, where resolve thus: τά ἄψυχα, καίπερ φωνήν διδόντα, ὅμως, ἐάν διαστολήν... πῶς κτλ. instruments without life, although giving forth a sound, yet, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known etc., Fritzsche, Conject. spec. i., p. 52; cf. Meyer at the passage; (Winer's Grammar, 344 (323)); again, ὅμως ἀνθρώπου... οὐδείς ἀθετεῖ for ἀνθρώπου κεκυρωμένην διαθήκην, καίπερ ἀνθρώπου οὖσαν, ὅμως οὐδείς κτλ., a man's established covenant, though it be but a man's, yet no one, etc. Gal 3:15; ὅμως μέντοι, but yet, nevertheless, (cf. Winer's Grammar, 444 (413)), Joh 12:42.
