of sweet-must wine
| Root | γλεῦκος (gleukos) |
| Core Meanings | sweet wine, fresh must, grape-juice, new wine |
| Semantic Range | freshly pressed grape-juice, sweet new wine, partially fermented must, intoxicating new wine |
| Conceptual Significance | In Acts 2:13, γλεῦκος is used mockingly of the disciples, implying intoxication from sweet, potent new wine. It highlights both the cultural familiarity with fresh fermenting wine and the misunderstanding of the Spirit’s work as drunkenness. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GNS = Noun, Genitive, Neuter, Singular. The genitive singular form γλεύκους expresses relationship such as "of" or "from" sweet wine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma γλεῦκος denotes freshly pressed, sweet grape-juice (must), often still fermenting. The form γλεύκους is genitive neuter singular (GNS), so the rendering "of sweet-must wine" preserves both the root sense (sweet, freshly pressed wine) and the genitive case, indicating possession, source, or description. |
