Crasis is the grammatical term where two words are joined, by contracting the vowel sound at the end of a word into the vowel sound of the beginning of the next word.
 
 
This occurs uncommonly in [[Koine Greek]]. Some of the more common examples in the New Testament are
 
* καγω
 
* κακεινος
 
* καν
 
* κακει
 
 
===καγω===
 
 
Sometimes και (and) plus εγω (I) are joined into a single word: καγω (''and I''). This occurs 76 times in the New Testament.
 
 
===κακεινος===
 
 
Sometimes και plus εκεινος are joined into a single word: κακεινος (''and that'' or ''and he''). This occurs 22 times in the New Testament.
 
 
===καν===
 
 
Sometimes και plus αν are joined into a single word: καν (''and''). This occurs 17 times in the New Testament.
 
 
===κακει===
 
 
Sometimes και plus εκει are joined into a single word: κακει (''and there''). This occurs 10 times in the New Testament.
