SIBI-P1 G1565-09
those-there ones (masculine, nominative plural)
| Root | ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) |
| Core Meanings | that one there, those there, the distant one, the other (distinct one) |
| Semantic Range | those, those people, the ones there, those previously mentioned, the other group, the very ones |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐκεῖνος often marks distinction or distance—contrasting one group with another, distinguishing true from false, or highlighting a specific set previously mentioned. In theological contexts it can separate faithful from unfaithful, insiders from outsiders, or point emphatically to a significant group in salvation history. |
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun (ἐκεῖνος); nominative masculine plural (NMP). Functions as a subject or predicate nominative referring to masculine persons at a distance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "those-there ones" preserves the demonstrative force of ἐκεῖνος, which points to persons at a distance (spatial, temporal, or conceptual). The nominative masculine plural form (NMP) is reflected by "ones" (masculine, plural) functioning as the subject, maintaining both number and gender indicated in the morphology. |
