SIBI-P1 G4151-01

the breath-wind Spirit (neuter singular)

Morphological NotesNoun, neuter, singular; forms attested here include nominative neuter singular (NNS) and accusative neuter singular (ANS). In Greek, nominative and accusative neuter singular share the same form πνεῦμα.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "breath-wind Spirit" preserves the concrete root sense of moving air (from πνέω, "to blow/breathe") while allowing for its extended meaning of personal or divine Spirit. The nominative/accusative neuter singular form is reflected by the singular "Spirit" and the neutral descriptive construction, matching the Greek neuter singular morphology.
