SIBI-P1 G32-04

a messenger (accusative masculine singular) / of messengers (genitive masculine plural)

Morphological NotesNoun; accusative masculine singular (AMS) and genitive masculine plural (GMP) forms are attested here. Accusative singular functions as direct object; genitive plural denotes possession, source, or relation ("of messengers").
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "messenger" preserves the root sense of ἄγγελος as one who is sent to deliver a message. The accusative masculine singular form is reflected as "a messenger" (direct object), while the genitive masculine plural is rendered "of messengers," marking possession or association and preserving masculine gender and number.
