SIBI-P1 G1769-01
the sign-silent ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; nominative masculine plural (NMP). Functions as a plural subject describing men who are silent or mute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the sign-silent ones" reflects the root connection to ἐννεύω (to nod or make signs), conveying silence expressed through gesture rather than speech. The nominative masculine plural form is preserved by "ones," indicating a masculine plural group functioning as the subject. |
