Exegesis
The dative interrogative tini {Τίνι | tí-nī} “to what” works with the aorist subjunctive homoioso {ὁμοιώσω | ho-mo-i-ṓ-sō} to form a deliberative question, portraying the speaker as thoughtfully searching for an apt comparison.
Root and etymology
homoiosomicron–mu–omicron–iota–omicron–sigma
“like, similar”
In context — Luke 13:20
And again He said, “With what shall I compare the kingdom of God ?”
