In the other Testament 1 word
- αὐτός autós · G846 · he, she, it, same
- Both הֵנָּה (hênnâh, H2007) and αὐτός (autós, G846) are third-person pronominal forms that refer back to previously mentioned entities or locations, serving as object and spatial referents in their respective languages. The Hebrew הֵנָּה covers a range of demonstrative and pronominal uses ("them," "therein," "these," "on this side") that parallel the Greek αὐτός when used as a third-person reflexive or intensive pronoun referring to persons or things already in view.

- Spatial Referents003002005
