SIBI-P1 G1484-07
of a nation-people
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, singular (GNS). The form ἔθνους denotes possession, source, description, or relation: "of a nation/people." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "nation-people" preserves the root idea of ἔθνος as a people bound together by shared customs or identity (related to ἔθω, "to be accustomed"). The genitive singular form is reflected by "of," indicating possession, source, or association with one specific nation or people-group. |
