SIBI-P1 G1588-05
of select-ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from ἐκλέγομαι ("to choose out"). Forms here include genitive masculine plural (GMP: "of select-ones") and accusative masculine singular (AMS: "select-one" as direct object). Used substantivally to denote persons characterized by being chosen. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "select-ones" preserves the root sense of being chosen or picked out (from ἐκλέγομαι, "to choose out"). The genitive masculine plural form (GMP) is reflected by "of select-ones," marking possession or association, while the accusative masculine singular occurrences are contextually rendered as "select-one" when functioning as a direct object. |
