SIBI-P1 G435-01
a male-man (accusative singular)
| Root | ἀνήρ (anēr) |
| Core Meanings | man, adult male, husband, male individual, man of standing |
| Semantic Range | adult man, husband, male person, fellow, man of courage or standing, representative male figure |
| Conceptual Significance | ἀνήρ 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 Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,); from lemma ἀνήρ; functions typically as the direct object of a verb or object of certain prepositions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
