1. if indeed, since indeed, assuming that — An emphatic conditional conjunction combining 'ei' (if) with 'per' (indeed), expressing a strengthened supposition: 'if indeed', 'since indeed', or 'even if' (Rom 3:30, 8:9, 8:17; 1 Cor 8:5, 15:15; 2 Thess 1:6). Translations uniformly confirm one sense with a conditional-emphatic force: Spanish 'si en verdad/si ciertamente', Hindi 'yadi sachmuch/yadi bhi' (यदि सचमुच/यदि भी), Arabic 'in kana/wa-in' (إِن كانَ/وَ إِنْ), Korean 'manil chamuro/chamuro manyak' (만일 참으로/참으로 만약), Swahili 'kwa kuwa/kama/hata kama'. The S66424 'even if' usage is a contextual shade of the same emphatic conditional particle, not a separate lexical sense. 6×
