SIBI-P1 G1401-06
a bound-man
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS,); functioning as a subject or predicate nominative referring to one male individual characterized by bonded status. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the root idea of binding (cf. δέω, “to bind”), so “bound-man” preserves the concrete sense of one who is bound to another in permanent obligation. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected in the singular, masculine rendering “man,” functioning as the subject form in context. |
