of the island
| Root | νῆσος (nēsos) |
| Core Meanings | island, isle, sea-bound land, maritime territory |
| Semantic Range | island, coastal land separated by water, insular territory, sometimes extended to refer to distant maritime regions or peoples associated with islands |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature, νῆσος often signifies distant lands across the sea, symbolizing the far-reaching scope of divine judgment or salvation. Islands can represent the outermost regions of the known world, emphasizing the universal extent of God’s purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS). The genitive case expresses possession, source, relation, or description; feminine gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "of the island" preserves the core meaning of νῆσος as a sea-bound landmass and reflects the genitive singular form, indicating possession, source, or association. The singular number is maintained, and the feminine grammatical gender is inherent in the Greek form though not overtly marked in English. |
