Exegesis
The genitive relative pronoun hou {οὗ | hou} ‘where’ introduces a locative genitive phrase—overtly a relative clause—within which the subject phrase he porne {ἡ πόρνη | hē pór-nē} ‘the prostitute’ occurs, followed by the present middle verb kathetai {κάθηται | ká-thē-tai} ‘she sits’, portraying her settled, ongoing position upon the waters.
Root and etymology
ethnosepsilon–theta–nu–omicron–sigma
“nation, gentile people”
In context — Revelation 17:15
And he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues .”
