of whom
| Root | ὅς (hos) |
| Core Meanings | who, which, that, what (relative reference) |
| Semantic Range | of whom, of which, whose, from whom, belonging to whom; used to introduce relative clauses referring back to a specific antecedent |
| Conceptual Significance | As a relative pronoun, ὅς structurally binds clauses together, clarifying identity, possession, and relationship. It is foundational for theological argumentation in the New Testament, where precise identification—"of whom" something is said—anchors doctrinal claims in specific persons, often the Messiah or covenant figures. |
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun (RD); genitive case; masculine gender; singular number. Functions to relate a subordinate clause to a masculine singular antecedent, expressing possession, source, or close association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form οὗ is the genitive masculine singular of the relative pronoun ὅς. Rendering it as "of whom" preserves the genitive case (expressing possession, source, or association) and the masculine singular reference inherent in the morphology. |
