ACRI/ACRIS is actually a preposition with genitive; here the hOU is a
relative pronoun with the relative squeezed into and taking the place of
the antecendent: as for a fuller ACRI/S TOUTOU TOU CRONOU hOU AN hHXW:
"until that time at which I come"--something that otherwise might have been
expressed with a PRIN AN hHXW OR hEWS AN hHXW.

Sometimes AN is unexpressed as in the example at Mat. 18:34; the Parable of
the
Unforgiving Slave.

From what I understand it's usually associated with the subjunctive. e.g.
hHXW, and APODW
