Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kaí {καὶ | kaí} introduces the interrogative phrase posas spyridas {πόσας σπυρίδας | pó-sas spu-rí-das}, “how many baskets,” which anticipates a recall of a precise, countable result.
In context — Matthew 16:10
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets did you pick up?
