Exegesis
The accusative pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | au-tòn} ‘him’ precedes the noun kyrion {κύριον | ký-ri-on} ‘lord,’ and together they form the object phrase of the verb kalei {καλεῖ | ka-leî} ‘calls,’ yielding the sense “David therefore calls him Lord.”
Root and etymology
kaleokappa–alpha–lambda–epsilon–omega

In context — Luke 20:44
Therefore David calls Him Lord , and how is He his son?
