conspicuously-shining (feminine, accusative)
| Root | ἐπιφανής (epiphanēs) |
| Core Meanings | manifest, conspicuous, clearly seen, illustrious, shining forth |
| Semantic Range | visible, manifest, conspicuous, eminent, illustrious, notable, renowned |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical and Hellenistic usage, ἐπιφανής carries the idea of something brought into clear visibility or prominence. Its root connection to shining and appearing resonates with themes of divine manifestation and revelation, where what was hidden becomes openly displayed. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective; accusative feminine singular (Gr,AA,,,,AFS,). It modifies a feminine noun functioning as the direct object (or equivalent accusative role) in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἐπιφανής derives from ἐπιφαίνω (“to shine upon, to appear, to bring to light”), so the rendering preserves the imagery of shining forth or becoming manifest. The accusative feminine singular form (ἐπιφανῆ) is reflected by marking it as modifying a feminine object in the accusative case. |
