τε καὶ τε καὶ's definitions

tekai

τε καὶ (te kaì) - A Classical Greek conjunction, translated literally as "and and." τε is post-positive, so it goes after the word it describes, and this is mainly used when the author forgot to say "and" at the start of the clause. May be slightly overused, and will get on your nerves.
