SIBI-P1 G1188-01
the right-hand (feminine singular)
| Root | δεξιός (dexios) |
| Core Meanings | right, right side, right hand, favorable side, place of honor |
| Semantic Range | the right hand; the right side; a position of honor or authority; favor; strength or power symbolized by the right hand |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, the right hand signifies authority, power, and honor—especially in references to sitting at the "right hand" of God, denoting supreme status and delegated rule. The term also carries covenantal and relational weight, as the right hand was associated with blessing, oath-taking, and strength. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective δεξιός used substantivally. Forms include nominative feminine singular (NFS: subject, "the right-hand"), dative feminine singular (DFS: "to/with the right-hand"), accusative feminine singular (AFS: direct object), and accusative neuter plural (ANP: "the right things/sides"). Gender feminine aligns with the implied noun χείρ (hand). |
| Rendering Rationale | δεξιά is the feminine singular form of δεξιός, functioning substantivally to mean "the right (hand/side)." The rendering "the right-hand" preserves the root sense of the right side (the side that receives) and reflects its nominative feminine singular form, matching the implied feminine noun χείρ (hand). |
