Etymology
Σάς is the accented spelling of the weak second-person plural pronoun σας, used as a direct or indirect object placed before the verb. Modern Greek σας descends from the Ancient Greek accusative and genitive plural forms of the pronoun ὑμεῖς ("you", plural), worn down over centuries of unstressed use in speech. The written accent on σάς is a modern orthographic convention, not a change in pronunciation: it marks the word as an object pronoun so it is not misread as the unaccented possessive σας ("your").
