of the feet
| Root | πούς (pous) |
| Core Meanings | foot, physical foot, step, base, footstool |
| Semantic Range | literal feet of humans or animals; footsteps or movement; that which is under the feet; a footstool; a symbol of subjection or authority. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "feet" often symbolize humility, service (washing of feet), embodied presence, or dominion (enemies placed under one’s feet). The genitive form frequently appears in expressions denoting something located at or belonging to the feet, reinforcing themes of submission or nearness. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP,). The genitive case expresses possession, association, source, or description; plural denotes more than one foot. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma πούς means "foot." The form ποδῶν is genitive masculine plural, indicating possession, source, or relation; thus "of the feet" preserves both the root meaning and the genitive plural grammatical force. |
