SIBI-P1 Translation G747-01
founding leader
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS): direct object form, referring to one male originator/leader. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Founding leader" reflects the compound sense of one who both begins (ἀρχή) and leads (ἄγω), preserving the idea of an originator who guides from the outset. The accusative masculine singular form denotes one specific male individual functioning as the direct object, which in English does not require a distinct ending. |
