SIBI-P1 G3588-11
the (nominative neuter singular thing)
| Root | ὁ (ho) |
| Core Meanings | definite article, the, this, that, the one, the thing |
| Semantic Range | definite article marking specificity; demonstrative force (this/that); substantivizing marker (the one who, the thing which); generic reference; possessive or par excellence usage depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | The Greek definite article is central to New Testament theology, often marking specificity (e.g., "the Christ," "the Spirit") and enabling substantival participles ("the believing one"). Its presence or absence can affect interpretation, emphasis, and doctrinal nuance. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,RD,,,,NNS = definite article, nominative case, neuter gender, singular number. Other attested forms include dative masculine singular (τῷ) and accusative neuter singular (τὸ), reflecting full inflection across case, gender, and number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Greek ὁ functions as the definite article, marking specificity or definiteness. The form τὸ parsed as nominative neuter singular identifies a specific neuter singular subject—"the thing" or "the matter"—and the rendering preserves both definiteness and grammatical gender/number/case. |
