| Root | ὁ (ho) |
| Core Meanings | the definite article, the one, this, that, the particular/identified entity |
| Semantic Range | marks definiteness; specifies a particular person, place, thing, or concept; can function demonstratively (this/that); with abstract nouns may denote a well-known or previously mentioned reality |
| Conceptual Significance | As the Greek definite article, ὁ and its forms structure meaning by identifying specific, known, or covenantally significant entities. In theological contexts, the article can particularize key terms (e.g., the promise, the law, the faith), highlighting specificity and shared understanding within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,EA,,,,DFS = Greek article, dative case, feminine gender, singular number. It modifies a feminine singular noun and agrees with it in case, gender, and number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form τῇ is the dative feminine singular of the definite article ὁ. Rendering it as "to/for the (feminine singular)" preserves the dative case (indicating indirect object, means, location, or relation), while explicitly reflecting its feminine gender and singular number. |
