of much
| Root | πολύς (polys) |
| Core Meanings | much, many, abundant, great in quantity or degree, numerous |
| Semantic Range | much, great (in extent or degree), abundant, numerous, plentiful; in certain contexts intensive (greatly) or qualitative (significant, important) |
| Conceptual Significance | πολύς frequently emphasizes abundance—whether of mercy, suffering, people, or deeds—highlighting magnitude or intensity. In biblical theology, it often underscores the greatness of God’s mercy, the extent of suffering, or the vastness of crowds, reinforcing themes of divine abundance or overwhelming experience. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (qualifier), genitive feminine singular (Gr,EQ,,,,GFS,). It agrees with a feminine singular noun in the genitive case, expressing quantity or degree. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form πολλῆς is genitive feminine singular, so the rendering reflects possession, source, or description with "of" while preserving the core quantitative sense of πολύς as "much" or "abundant." The feminine singular form indicates it modifies a feminine singular noun in the genitive case. |
