- Declined like αὐτός (neuter ἐκεῖνο without -ν); circumflex becomes acute before a long ending (ἐκείνου).
- “That” (more remote than οὗτος), in predicate position: ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις “in those days”; alone often “he” (John).
Forms in bold occur in the New Testament; the others complete the pattern. A dash (—) marks a form that does not exist.
