SIBI-P1 G435-01

a male-man (accusative singular)

Rootἀνήρ (anēr)
Core Meaningsman, adult male, husband, male individual, man of standing
Semantic Rangeadult man, husband, male person, fellow, man of courage or standing, representative male figure
Conceptual Significanceἀνήρ emphasizes maleness in distinction from humanity in general, often highlighting roles such as husband, leader, or responsible adult male within covenantal and household structures in the biblical world.
Morphological NotesNoun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,); from lemma ἀνήρ; functions typically as the direct object of a verb or object of certain prepositions.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "male-man" preserves the specific reference of ἀνήρ to an adult male individual (distinct from the more generic ἄνθρωπος, "human"). The accusative singular form is reflected by indicating it as the direct-object form, maintaining its masculine singular grammatical force.
