SIBI-P1 G2251-07
our-own (masculine singular object); of our-own (feminine plural)
| Root | ἡμέτερος (hēméteros) |
| Core Meanings | our, belonging to us, pertaining to us, our own |
| Semantic Range | belonging to us, our own, that which is ours, pertaining to our group or community |
| Conceptual Significance | ἡμέτερος expresses communal identity and shared possession. In biblical contexts, it can emphasize solidarity, covenantal belonging, or contrast between what belongs to "us" versus others, reinforcing themes of collective identity among disciples, apostles, or the people of God. |
| Morphological Notes | ἡμέτερον: possessive adjective/pronominal form, accusative masculine singular (1st person plural possession). ἡμετέρων: possessive adjective/pronominal form, genitive feminine plural (1st person plural possession). Derived from the 1st person plural pronoun ἡμεῖς (we). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "our-own" preserves the possessive force of ἡμέτερος and highlights its emphatic sense of belonging to "us" (1st person plural). The accusative masculine singular form (ἡμέτερον) is reflected as a masculine singular object, while the genitive feminine plural form (ἡμετέρων) is rendered "of our-own," preserving its genitive and plural feminine agreement. |
