| Root | κλάω (klaō) |
| Core Meanings | to break, to shatter, to break apart, to break bread |
| Semantic Range | to break in pieces, to divide, to shatter, to break bread (especially in a communal or ritual meal), to distribute by breaking |
| Conceptual Significance | Frequently associated with the breaking of bread in communal meals and covenant fellowship, especially in early Messianic gatherings, where breaking bread signifies shared participation, unity, and remembrance. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP). Present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice shows the subjects performing the action; participle functions adjectivally/substantivally describing masculine plural subjects. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core meaning "to break" from κλάω and reflects the present active participle form, indicating ongoing action. The nominative masculine plural is conveyed by "the ones," showing a group acting as the subject who are actively breaking. |
