Prepositions in Greek for the most part work as they do in English . The principal difference is that the object of a Greek preposition must be inflected in either the genitive, dative, or accusative case. The preposition together with its object is called a PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.
Three prepositions illustrate this dynamic. Note that these three have no accent.
εἰς or ἐς + acc. into
εἰς τὸ στόμα into the mouth
ἐν + dat. in
ἐν τῷ στόματι in the mouth
ἐκ + gen. from, out of
ἐκ τοῦ στόματος out of the mouth
ἐκ becomes ἐξ before a vowel:
ἐξ αἵματος out of blood

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with
internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
Cheers
