SIBI-P1 Translation G4151-07
of breath-wind
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): indicating possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular neuter form denotes possession or source, thus "of breath-wind," preserving the root sense of moving air while allowing extension to life-force or spirit. The rendering keeps the concrete air/breath imagery inherent in πνεῦμα. |
