the striking-rod
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NFS = noun, nominative case, feminine gender, singular number; functioning typically as the subject of a clause or as a predicate nominative. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ῥάβδος denotes a rod or staff, likely connected etymologically with striking (cf. ῥαπίζω, “to strike”). Rendering it as “the striking-rod” preserves both its physical sense (a stick used for striking or guiding) and its extended sense of authority (a scepter). The nominative feminine singular form is reflected as a singular subject noun in English. |
