SIBI-P1 G652-03
of the sent-ones
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP,). Indicates possession, source, or association; refers to multiple male persons functioning as commissioned representatives. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "sent-ones" preserves the verbal root idea from ἀποστέλλω ("to send") embedded in ἀπόστολος, emphasizing commissioned representatives rather than a technical title. The genitive masculine plural form (GMP) is reflected by "of the" and the plural "-ones," conveying possession or association with multiple male delegates. |
