I have found it in a Greek dictionary (6)
I believe the answer is:
eureka
'i' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eureka that I've seen before include "Exclamation on discovering something" , "Bingo!" , "Greek exclamation of discovery (6" , "Triumphant exclamation of discovery" , "Cry of triumph (at a discovery)" .)
