Exegesis
The sequence kai gar {καὶ γὰρ | kaí gár} functions as an explanatory connector, “for indeed” or “for even,” introducing the rationale that accepts the metaphor yet presses for inclusion.
In context — Matthew 15:27
But she said, “Yes, Lord ; for even the little dogs eat from the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table .”
